00:00We're talking about this after the show yesterday.
00:02The Red Sox, to me, with all the injuries to the Yankees,
00:07Giancarlo Stanton, Garrett Cole, Luis Hill, Baltimore, dinged up.
00:15Gunnar Henderson, I think, is going to start on opening day,
00:17but he's been hurt.
00:19Grayson Rodriguez, one of their starters, hurt.
00:21Corbin Burns, gone.
00:22They lost Santander.
00:24I would pick the Red Sox to win the division.
00:26That is not the way it breaks down.
00:28Wild.
00:29Some of these future odds on DraftKings to win the ALEs.
00:32Yankees are plus 135.
00:34Orioles plus 270.
00:36Red Sox plus 350.
00:37So why?
00:38Why is that?
00:39Juicy.
00:39Why are the Yankees and Orioles the odds-on favorites
00:43to win the division over the Red Sox?
00:45Before we even dive into how these new guys are
00:48going to play in any of the positional battles,
00:49that surprises me.
00:51I would've thought the Red Sox were higher up than that.
00:52I would've thought so, too, especially
00:54when you take a look at the additions to this Red Sox
00:57team.
00:57So yeah, last year, they only had 81 wins.
01:01But they went out and got two starting pitchers better
01:03than anybody they had.
01:04And they got Bregman.
01:05So he's going to solidify the lineup as well as the defense.
01:10And you're at least starting the year with Trevor Story
01:13and Tristan Casas, right?
01:15You barely had those guys last year, and you got to 81 wins.
01:19So the lineup is better.
01:20The rotation is better.
01:22I guess TBD on the bullpen.
01:24I don't want to get too ahead of ourselves in the bullpen.
01:26Because even though Kenley Jansen, I guess,
01:27proved to be maybe a bad teammate and stuff
01:30by the end of the year, you at least knew what he was.
01:32And he and Martin versus Chapman and Hendricks,
01:34I guess that's TBD.
01:35But the lineup, the defense, and the starting pitching is better.
01:39The other two teams, we've been all over this the entire time.
01:42They're worse.
01:43The Yankees had Juan Soto and Garrett Cole.
01:45Now they don't, and they're still
01:47better than the Red Sox?
01:48Yeah, I don't get it.
01:48The lineup for the Yankees is actually pretty bad.
01:51Aaron Judge is better than anything the Red Sox have.
01:53But then, I mean, the next five or six guys
01:56you might take from the Red Sox lineup.
01:58So I don't really get it.
01:59I feel like it's a good buying opportunity.
02:01And maybe it's also one of those, be careful,
02:05like maybe Vegas knows something.
02:07Why are they not as excited on the Red Sox as we are?
02:09What don't we know that we're looking at?
02:11Because I'm with you.
02:12It's a little strange, isn't it?
02:14The good news is it feels like a buying opportunity.
02:15I'm with you on that.
02:16That's what I'm saying, but then famous last words.
02:18Right.
