00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 The Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays
00:05 next on deck right here for us.
00:07 That's gonna be Zach Efflin and Carlos Rodon.
00:09 Two guys, Zach Efflin, a very good season.
00:11 Rodon looking to still get his season underway,
00:15 if you will.
00:15 But how about this?
00:16 The Rays on the road, once again,
00:18 a favorite here with the Yankees at a minus 118 price,
00:22 a total of eight.
00:23 Are we trusting the Rays, Yankees,
00:25 and also, let me just get this out here as well.
00:27 Do you change your betting optics here
00:29 on trade deadline day around the deadline here?
00:32 Or how do you approach it?
00:33 Is it the same?
00:34 And also, about this Rays-Yankees game.
00:36 - Well, not with these two teams
00:38 because these two teams pretty much know,
00:41 the guys in that locker room know who they are
00:43 that are gonna be there.
00:44 Most of the guys that we mentioned earlier
00:46 for the Yankees that may be on the move,
00:48 they were rentals anyway,
00:50 no long-term viability in that locker room anyway.
00:54 But what concerns me is,
00:56 well, you got Eflin going here for Tampa,
01:00 who, you know, he's had a little bit
01:02 of a health issue here now, right?
01:05 He's had some problems over the last couple of weeks.
01:07 They figured that he is good to go tonight,
01:10 going up against Rodon,
01:11 who I believe was also taken out
01:13 of the last game that he pitched here.
01:16 So two guys, a little banged up.
01:19 Are we gonna get maximum effort from him?
01:21 Sure.
01:22 The problem is the Yankees have struck out 30 times, Donnie.
01:26 30 times.
01:27 They struck out a dozen times last night
01:30 against Glass Now and Company.
01:32 After they struck out 18 times the night before,
01:35 and now they're going up against a guy
01:37 that's about a 20% K, above what his career is.
01:41 He's striking out everybody.
01:43 How am I not looking at the under in this game?
01:46 It's the only way I would look here.
01:47 I don't trust the Yankee lineup to add enough
01:50 to get this thing up and over.
