00:00All right. Finally, let's get to the NL East Atlanta Braves. No stranger to the top. They'll win it this year, George. They win the NL East. Is this buy or sell? Atlanta Braves are on top.
00:10I think they're a good team, but a lot of question marks of the Braves, right? I worry about that pitch step. We already discussed this. Chris Hale, can he do it again? Everybody, Holmes and Ian Anderson lower in the rotation. Lopez, Schwellenbeck. What are they going to get out of Strider? What are they going to get out of Acuna?
00:23Listen, I can't believe they'll have all the injuries they had last year. So still a really good team. You also play in a really good division. All right. The Phillies are, I think, in my mind, a great team. Mets are, I may think they're going to play a lot of high scoring games, but they're still going to win a lot of games here.
00:37No, no, they're not going to win that division. The Phillies. I have the Phillies as the second best team in baseball behind Los Angeles Dodgers, so this is a sell for me.
00:45Yeah, I can't do it. Phillies are better, I think, on paper. I think the Braves are going to be better than they were last year. I think it's going to be a fight. I think the Mets are in it, too. I don't know. I just can't do it. If you told me Acuna and Strider are on the team, you know, Acuna for 100 games and Strider for 25 starts, I may take the Braves, but you're best offensive player and your best pitcher. I'm not starting the season, so I will sell.
01:10Finally, Juan Soto, Pete Alonzo, both set for big years. This is a big number. 80 home runs combined this season by yourself.
01:16Soto won't hit the 40 plus he hit last year out of Yankee Stadium. Probably low 30s here, so we're going to get close to 50 out of Alonzo. He only hit 34 last year. I'll sell this. Listen, I think it's going to be close. I think they'll hit the 70s, so you only need a couple more to go out there to get there, so I'll sell. They'll just miss within 10.
01:37Yeah, it's like betting on health, and you always bet, unfortunately, against that. I think Sam's number is good here. I would have probably put it 75, but I'm going to sell, though. 75, I would have been like, ooh, I don't know. It was really close, but yeah, I think that was the right number, but we don't make the books numbers. We just make stupid comments on the show.
