00:00As we have said, all four teams in the A.L. Wildcard Chase
00:08recorded a victory yesterday. That includes the Twins and
00:12home point that Minnesota needed. Nearly a $2 favorite at
00:16home against Miami after the Marlins won game one four to
00:21one. Yesterday, the Twins respond. Byron Buxton, a deep
00:24shot. Good to see him get involved in the offense. Eight
00:27to three, the victory for the Twins at home in
00:29Minneapolis. When you're a bad baseball team, you give baseball
00:33games away. The reason I talk about the Marlins here, they
00:36had a three to nothing lead. But if you look at the box score,
00:38Ben, four errors by the Marlins. You give teams extra
00:41outs, they're going to put you away. Because yesterday on the
00:43show, I said, you know what? If there is a deep dive on a team
00:46you want to take a shot at, at like a plus 165 price, it would
00:49be the Marlins. And I felt like the king of the hill starting
00:52this game in the top of the first inning. A three to
00:54nothing lead for the Marlins, fresh off the Marlins the day
00:56before beating the Twins. But that's a good win for the
00:58Twins. They're still angling for the playoffs. You could
01:00have very easily folded up shop again after giving up a couple
01:04of runs early. They didn't do that. But come on, Marlins. He
01:06just given the baseball game away. Almost had one of those
01:09games. Hey man, what a great pick turned into. Yeah, that's
01:12what the Twins are supposed to do. Beat a really bad baseball
01:14team, which now has 100 losses on the season.
