00:00Let's get a little sweat for the Wednesday evening.
00:06If you're looking to play the late slate bettors, welcome out to the West Coast, the Dodgers.
00:11Back at Dodger Stadium, taking on the Padres.
00:14Round two for this one. Ding, ding, ding.
00:16And what a matchup it looks to be on paper, Donnie.
00:19You've got Dylan Cease getting the start for the Padres.
00:21Absolutely filthy stuff. And it's Jack Flaherty.
00:24Could Flaherty be the guy to help the Dodgers make that run through October?
00:29The oddsmakers are telling us, yes, minus 144.
00:32After a big win from the Padres last night, there's a lot on the line for game two of the series.
00:37I usually like the angle of a team that partied a little bit and clinched being a fade the very next day.
00:43We have to remind ourselves, like, even though the Phillies, I did like them as a fade,
00:46they technically shouldn't be taking days off if they want to catch the Dodgers.
00:50Now, granted, they took the day off. They got hammered by the Cubs.
00:52I'm not saying the Padres get hammered today, but you've got a really good pitcher on the mound.
00:56The Phillies didn't have a good pitcher on the mound to start that game last night.
00:59Dylan Cease has been great. Flaherty, no slouch either.
01:01His last 60 days, he's top 10 today in the pitching rotation for me on my card.
01:06But if I am looking at now two games back, you want to really put some pressure on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
01:12Beat them again today.
01:13The one thing the Dodgers do have in their back pocket as we take a look at the schedules,
01:17three games against the Colorado Rockies to end the season.
01:20That's the perfect storm. You can make up a lot of games there.
01:22But if I'm looking for a side, I probably lean towards the Dodgers.
01:25But again, that's seven and a half number, Dubz. He really sticks out.
01:29Cease is going to pitch well. I think Flaherty is going to pitch decent.
01:32I don't think we get to eight runs. So once again, in a playoff atmosphere,
01:35I'm going to go under the total in this game.
