00:00Seattle is now at home welcoming in the Phillies, Logan Gilbert against Zach Wheeler.
00:07I do not understand the pick-em line here, all things being equal.
00:12Seattle is not equal, even at home, with this Phillies team right now, or am I missing something?
00:19They should not be, and I think this is just a, maybe it's just a credit to Logan Gilbert,
00:27who he is as a pitcher overall. He's been okay-ish in recent results.
00:35Zach Wheeler, again, has not been great over his recent outings, but the Phillies have been super hot.
00:42Are people still buying into the skill that Logan Gilbert has overall? I guess so.
00:48Frankly, when you have a team as hot as the Phillies, our friends, George Kurtz or whoever likes to say,
00:54it's like you just bet on streaks. You just bet on the streaks with the Phillies.
00:58They're hot right now. How could you bet on a team like the Mariners?
01:01It's like, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me when it comes to Mariners.
01:05I bought into the Mariners too many times to be fooled by a good plus 100 line by them.
01:11Yeah, I am with you here. I don't get it. I'll take the hotter team.
01:17And listen, I know Zach Wheeler has had, what is his last three or four starts have not been great.
01:22He has gotten tattooed a little bit, but yeah, no, the run support will be there.
01:29And we've been waiting for this version of the Phillies for a while.
01:33Have we not, Tom?
01:34And this version is, they could have 11 on the board before they even,
01:39and it won't matter what Wheeler looks like, right?
01:42We've been waiting for this version of the Phillies.
01:45Has anything gone well for the Mariners in the last week?
01:49They got blown out by the Cubs twice.
01:51They gave up 22 against the Brewers last week.
01:54They've been giving up double digits routinely.
01:56Home, away, good pitchers park, bad pitchers park, great pitching on the mound.
02:00It doesn't matter.
02:01The Mariners are floundering right now.
02:03This is not the time to back a team that's given up 15 plus runs three times in the past
02:08week.
02:10Yep, not good here.
02:12And you just had, what, Schwarber does it again?
02:14I think he walked off another one there.
02:17So it's not a great travel spot and all that, but I don't care.
02:22To me, this is all about give me the better team, the better pitcher on the mound.
02:27They will figure out a way to get it done.
02:29I do not trust this Seattle lineup at all here.
02:33And winning is contagious.
02:35And trust me, Philadelphia has lost their fair share of games.
02:39They had no business losing this year.
02:40So I think they're going to be just fine in this spot here tonight in a really good price.
