00:00 Mhm. The Reds and the Cubs
00:03 here lively versus steel.
00:05 This is a good one because
00:06 if you're looking for the
00:07 Cubs to stay in this thing,
00:08 you gotta make some moves
00:10 against the leaders in your
00:11 division like the Cincinnati
00:13 Reds were playing really
00:14 good baseball right now.
00:14 But however, minus 1 68
00:16 favorites here for the
00:17 Chicago Cubs coming into
00:19 this game in a total that's
00:20 listed at 8.5. Now, as I
00:22 was breaking this game down
00:23 earlier, sometimes it just
00:24 comes up to the matchups
00:25 here. Steal the left on
00:26 the mountain, having a very
00:27 good season. The one thing
00:28 that he does well being a
00:29 left handed pitcher Joe, he
00:31 gets out right handed batters.
00:32 Take a look at the last 30
00:33 days, 90 batters. He's faced
00:34 from the right side and 0
00:36 59. I saw in a 2 88 waited
00:38 on base percentage. So again,
00:40 why is that important? If
00:41 we're looking at the
00:42 anticipated lineup tonight
00:43 for those Cincinnati Reds,
00:44 only one of the nine batters
00:47 supposedly will be a lefty
00:48 and that's Joey Votto. So
00:49 pitching right into what
00:51 steel does well, the more
00:52 righties, the better for him
00:54 flipping it over to the
00:55 other side is lively right
00:56 handed pitcher gets right
00:57 handed batters out,
00:58 struggles a little bit with
00:59 lefties here. And that's why
01:00 I have in that same game
01:01 parlay, talk middle, be a
01:03 lefty happens to switch it
01:04 will be a lefty. And so we'll
01:05 Bellinger tonight just to get
01:06 a couple of base hits. This
01:08 game is going to be tight.
01:09 Are you a little bit
01:10 surprised to Joe at this
01:11 price point for the Cubs
01:12 here today? Um, well, I
01:16 agree that the, they have a
01:17 big advantage here on the
01:18 mount and I think that's
01:19 what the price is
01:20 reflective and not to
01:21 mention, you know, now
01:22 they've got some confidence.
01:24 They came back, almost won
01:25 that game last night against
01:27 the Reds, but the Reds have
01:28 dominated them this year,
01:30 five and one already. And
01:32 they are scoring what 31
01:34 runs during a four game
01:36 winning streak at Wrigley
01:37 field so far. Um, they got
01:39 to come up with some
01:40 answers, man, you know,
01:41 right guy at the right
01:42 time, Donnie, right? Steel
01:43 is the right guy at the
01:44 right time for this Cubs
01:46 team to be able to give
01:47 them a chance to win. Uh,
01:49 and they are still really
01:50 good over the last couple
01:51 of weeks. So I think the
01:53 Cubs have everything to be
01:54 excited about. Uh, and the
01:57 Reds don't trust lively.
01:59 Uh, don't trust that
02:01 bullpen. I do trust steel
02:03 and the Cubs to be able to
02:04 get one back here tonight.
