00:03 If we keep moving down the list again,
00:04 more playoff implications.
00:05 It's great in Major League Baseball on this card today.
00:08 The Marlins and the Padres, Luzardo versus Snell.
00:10 Snell now up to a minus 178 favorite here over the Marlins
00:14 and a total that's listed at seven and a half.
00:16 And by the way, the over seven and a half,
00:18 that's a plus 100 price here.
00:20 True pitchers ballpark, two decent pitchers on the mound.
00:22 My same game, Parley went with this game.
00:25 Need a base hit for Machado, a base hit here for Soto
00:27 and a win for the San Diego Padres on the money line.
00:30 That's gonna pay us out tonight.
00:32 I think it happens.
00:33 From your perspective here for the Marlins,
00:35 fading at the wrong time right here,
00:36 but also maybe the Padres can start
00:38 to get those good vibes back
00:40 by picking up series wins here and say, you know what?
00:42 Maybe we can make a run to the playoffs.
00:44 But as you pointed out, Mike,
00:46 look, we didn't just start the season.
00:48 We're not 15 games into it.
00:49 You're a hundred plus games in, you're under 500.
00:51 Maybe that run just isn't coming.
00:54 - Yeah, at the risk of talking out of both sides
00:56 of my mouth, like I did earlier,
00:58 126 games, you are what your record says you are, right?
01:03 You can't just say, well, we've got some bad breaks.
01:07 It's like you're six games under 500.
01:10 But when you look at their run differential,
01:12 it belies a team that should be about 10 games over 500.
01:16 So I think it's impossible for me to sit here and say,
01:21 you know what?
01:23 I really think that they just caught some bad breaks
01:25 and I think they'll turn it around.
01:27 But the reality is they have a ton of talent.
01:31 They're not 15 games below 500.
01:34 To your point, they can pick up series wins.
01:36 And by Labor Day, we'll be sitting here and say,
01:38 you know what?
01:39 They're back to 500 and they're not that far out of the race.
01:42 In fact, they're in the race if they're at 500 right now
01:45 in the National League.
01:47 With Snell on the mound, I think this is an opportunity
01:49 for them to pick up another win.
01:50 Like you said, just keep it rolling here a little bit
01:53 so that they don't slide further out.
01:55 But if they're still six games under 500
01:58 by the end of next week, write them off completely.
02:01 - Yeah, you gotta make it.
02:03 And also, it's always good to play teams
02:04 that are ahead of you in the standings.
02:06 Therefore, gaining games on them directly,
02:08 they can do that again against them all in a sudden.
