00:00All right, let's start tonight's games, like I said, several with significance.
00:09Really the Phillies now are just playing to be the one in the NL, Scotty.
00:13And I got to tell you, the other reason I put this here is, I don't know what kind of
00:16shape they're going to be in tonight either, after all the partying that they did, winning
00:20the NL lease.
00:21The Steel Mills going for the Cubbies, Tanner Banks is starting for the Phillies.
00:26It's a pick'em right now, minus ten both ways, with a seven and a half total.
00:31Well, all these teams that, you know, drink all night when they, you know, clinch and
00:38make the playoffs and they hit it hard, they lose the next game they play.
00:43So I'm going to go with the Cubs.
00:46That's what I was thinking too, for that game tonight.
00:48The Guardians can still get the number one spot in the American League, 90 and 67.
00:53They're two games back in the Yankees with six to play.
00:57Today, we'll send Tanner Bibby tonight, Carson Spires goes for the Reds, which I know we
01:01had a lot going on yesterday, I forgot to mention to you, they chopped their manager
01:06already, David Bell.
01:07They sent him out the door, so the Reds will be looking for a new manager in a week's time.
01:11Minus 190 for Cleveland, plus 160 for the Reds, and an eight and a half.
01:16Yeah, I'll go Bibby and the Guardians here in Cleveland.
01:21I put the Pirates on the board today, Scotty, only because I did want to bring up the story
01:26that me and you talked about off the air, which was that the Pirates today released
01:32Rowdy Tellez and Michael Taylor.
01:34Now the Tellez is significant, now the Pirates obviously didn't say this, but some guys did
01:38some digging to cover the team.
01:40Tellez was four at-bats away from a $200,000 bonus that he had in his contract.
01:47425 at-bats, 200 grand, he had 421, and the Pirates sent them home and they called up
01:52a couple young kids for the last six games of the season.
01:57Probably not the way to do it, Scotty, honestly, but that's the Pirates.
02:01That's tough.
02:02I mean, that's embarrassing.
02:04So tonight the Brewers will go in there and spank their ass.
02:09Bailey Falter and Tobias Myers here, minus 145 for Milwaukee, and a seven and a half
02:15at PNC.
02:16They will spank their ass.
02:19I'm on the Brewers.
02:21The Royals have a seven-game losing streak, and they are clinging to Nats.
02:27Well now the Tigers are a half-game ahead of them, so the Royals are in the third wild
02:30card spot now.
02:31They'll have Cole Regans tonight against Mitchell Parker-Lewis, can't lose, in DC.
02:36Minus 180 for the Royals, plus a buck fifty for the Nats, and a seven and a half.
02:40I gotta go Nats, the way the Royals are, you know, folding right now.
02:45They just keep losing every night, and look at that price with Parker.
02:49A buck fifty-eight against a team that's not winning.
02:53I'll go for it with the Nats in DC tonight.
02:57The upset.
02:58Seems honestly, Scotty, like the Orioles have, they've completely checked out.
03:03It's kind of what it feels like, and I think that the Yankees will get it done tonight,
03:06especially since they're also facing a guy who, albeit has been the one Oriole pitcher
03:10who's been good lately, but the Yankees usually do very well against the Dean.
03:14Dean Kramer, Koffi and Kramer going for Baltimore, Clark Schmitz going for the Yankees.
03:20Right now, minus 165 for the Bombers, plus a buck forty for the O's, and an eight and
03:27a half total.
03:28Yeah, I'd run line it at plus 122 to dust them off, finish them, beat them by a few
03:36runs in Yankee Stadium, and that'll be the end of it, and then they can have another
03:40celebration.
03:42Orioles haven't played well, so take advantage of them tonight with Schmitt and do it.
03:47Judge, four for 13 with three homers off of Kramer in his career, Scotty, in case you
03:52wanted to be involved tonight with some long balls.
03:55I like Judge tonight against Kramer.
03:57That seems like a pretty good one to me.
03:59The Mets and the Braves, probably the biggest series here over the next three days when
04:05you're talking about playoff implications.
04:07They play game one in Atlanta.
04:09Luis Severino and Spencer Schwellenbach are the starters here.
04:14Minus 145 for the Braves, plus a buck twenty for the Mets, and a seven and a half.
04:19I can't believe the price on the Mets and Severino.
04:23I think he's been really outstanding, and he's 11-6 with a 3-7 ERA.
04:30He's got way better numbers, if you ask me, than this kid going for the Braves.
04:36I'll take that price.
04:37The way they've been hot, the way they've been winning, how badly they want it.
04:42They want to go in there and win this series.
04:44Get at least two of these games.
04:46Don't go in there and get swept.
04:48That would be a death knell.
04:50I'm going to take Severino and the plus money on the Mets side.
04:54All right.
04:55I'm with you.
04:57I like the Mets tonight, actually, to get that done.
04:59And the next couple days, Scotty, are going to be very tricky down there.
05:03You got that hurricane coming up through the southeast.
05:07They might not get in both of those games, Wednesday and Thursday, down in Atlanta, which
05:12makes things sticky.
05:15If they're both still alive come Sunday, they might have to either play another game Monday.
05:20There's some talk, maybe, of trying to squeeze a doubleheader in tomorrow or Thursday.
05:25So they got a lot of things going with the weather down there in Atlanta that we have
05:28to keep our eyes on the next few days.
05:30Minnesota still in the mix on the American League side.
05:34They have the fish coming into town tonight.
05:36Ryan Weathers and Bailey Ober minus $240 for the Twins, who have been awful lately, plus
05:41$200 for the Marlins and an eight and a half.
05:44Well, I think this is huge for the Twins, and Ober has to come through.
05:50I think that's why the price is so high, and I think you got to take them.
05:54I'm not going to pay that juice, so I'd run line it at minus $1.10 and go for it.
06:00They have to win this game tonight, and the Marlins stink.
06:03They're playing at home.
06:04They got their best pitcher basically going in the game.
06:07It all lines up for me on the run line.
06:10We've talked so much about how the Tigers are playing the White Sox this weekend to
06:13finish off the season and those three easy games that they have.
06:18The Twins playing the Marlins at home, and I'll even throw Kansas City playing the Nationals,
06:24Scotty.
06:25You have to sweep those series if you're Minnesota and Kansas City.
06:30You have to.
06:31You have to sweep them if you're actually serious about making the playoffs.
06:33The Astros will try again to win the AL West tonight with Frambois Valdez.
06:38It'll be Logan what's eating Gilbert Grape for Seattle, minus $1.45 Houston, plus $1.20
06:44for the Mariners, and a six and a half tonight.
06:47Look out.
06:48I mean, Seattle's got the pitchers, don't they?
06:51They really do.
06:52It's amazing to me that they're not in the playoffs.
06:57They're on the outside looking in, and at the beginning of the year and all year they
07:01led that division until the Astros passed them, and Seattle does have filthy pitching,
07:07but it's not what gets it done always.
07:10You got to have guys that drive in runs.
07:13They got to score runs.
07:15They got to play defense, and their pitching was really good, but nothing else clicked,
07:20and then they blew the division.
07:22They won last night.
07:23They had to.
07:24I don't think they beat Valdez tonight at Minute Maid.
07:27I'm going to go back with the Astros here.
07:31Diamondbacks need to get off the deck after losing to the Giants last night.
07:34The problem is, Scotty, they're going to see Logan Webb tonight in Arizona.
07:37Brandon Fott goes for the Snakes, who are minus $1.50, plus $1.25 for San Francisco,
07:43and an eight and a half.
07:45Yeah, you know, I don't deny that Logan Webb is good.
07:49I think he's a lot better when he pitches at Oracle than when he's on the road.
07:54San Francisco, to me, doesn't matter at this point.
07:57Arizona needs it.
07:59They're better.
08:00They've been awesome.
08:02They need to get this tonight.
08:03I'm going to go with Fott and the Snakes in the desert over Webb.
08:07It won't be easy.
08:08He keeps the ball down.
08:10He doesn't give up a lot of runs.
08:11He doesn't give up a lot of home runs, so I think it's going to be a great game.
08:16I think both of these pitchers can deal.
08:18I'll take Fott and the Diamondbacks.
08:21The Padres can clinch a playoff berth tonight in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, Scotty,
08:26and they can get themselves to within two in the NL West.
08:30Now, if they ever swept the Dodgers here, Scotty, they could be even in the NL West,
08:34but that's a big task.
08:35They've got to start with it tonight.
08:36Michael King against Landon Knack at Chavez Ravine, minus $1.20 for the Dodgers, even
08:41money for the Padres, and an eight and a half.
08:43I'll take King and the Padres at even money.
08:48I think Knack, they have so many average pitchers, and that's their downfall, if you ask me.
08:56I know they've got the bats.
08:57I know they've got the defense.
08:59I know they've got Otani.
09:00I know they've got Betts.
09:01I know they've got Freeman, but their pitching, to me, is going to be a problem, and I mean
09:08the starters and the middle relief and the end of the game.
09:12I think seven, eight, and nine, they have problems, and I think it's going to catch
09:16up to them in the end.
09:18Their injuries to their pitchers will be their undoing.
09:21Now, a lot of people think they're still going to win the World Series.
09:25I take the field.
09:27If you don't have pitching, you don't win it.
09:29That's all I know.
09:30If you don't have the pitching, you're not going to get it done.
09:32It'll become your worst nightmare.
09:35Here's the games that don't matter.
09:37There's only really four of them with no implications, although the final series in Oakland at the
09:41dump starts tonight with the Rangers, the last three games at the dump here over the
09:46next couple days.
09:47Yeah, I take the A's tonight at the ashtray.
09:51I think the Rockies will win that game against Colorado, and whoever goes to the black hole
09:58loses.
09:59That's all I know.
