00:00One other game, Tom, we didn't get a chance to get to here, though.
00:03But your Orioles and Kyle Braddish going up against McGreevy and the Cardinals.
00:09I did not expect the kind of output we got last night.
00:14But what are we thinking here?
00:16Cardinals at home.
00:18McGreevy, I keep looking for spots to fade him.
00:21Is this one of those spots to do so?
00:24I really don't know.
00:26The cards are desperate for a win right now.
00:29McGreevy has not been good as of late.
00:31A 5.87 ERA over his last 23 innings pitch.
00:35He's given up too many home runs.
00:36The walks are a little bit of an issue for him.
00:38But this is not to say that Kyle Braddish has been dramatically better.
00:4125.1 innings over the last month.
00:43He's got a 4.62 ERA.
00:46So when we're looking at a line that's essentially a coin flip when it's all said and done,
00:52we're looking at minus 108 for the Orioles and plus 100 for the cards.
00:57It's really, really tough to pick a side.
00:59I will say you're getting a good price on either of them.
01:02Can the cards break this?
01:03What is it?
01:04A four-game losing streak that they're on and bounce back at home and not get embarrassed
01:07by the Orioles who are middling team?
01:09Or is this a chance for the Orioles to continue pouring on their offense and push themselves
01:13further in the air wild card?
01:14I have no bets of any kind in this game.
01:17It's just a wait and see for me.
01:19Yeah.
01:20I mean, the Orioles are two and a half games out of that final wild card spot.
01:25One of five teams, by the way, within three games of that final wild card spot.
01:31So there are these teams are still playing for something here, Tom.
01:35And I mean, call me crazy.
01:38McGreevy is not a guy.
01:39He's had some success this year, but not a guy with a power hitting team.
01:45Alonzo's crushing the ball.
01:47Holiday finally has himself a day yesterday.
01:51And Kyle Braddish can listen.
01:53He can miss.
01:54I don't think he's won a game in August yet.
01:55He's had four starts.
01:56He's 0-3, eight runs in 22 innings.
02:00But he is a guy that can get some swing and miss going on here.
02:04And right now, you're right.
02:05The Cardinals, can we trust them to get enough offense together?
02:09Even against Kyle Braddish here.
02:12I really don't.
02:13I can't.
02:14I've been low on the Cardinals all season.
02:16So every time they prove me wrong, you know, I want to start betting on them.
02:19It's like, oh, maybe they are good.
02:21And then they don't.
02:22And then I don't bet on them and they're terrible.
02:24I'm like, man, I knew it all along that they were terrible.
02:27I should have been fading them the whole time.
02:28And they don't come through.
02:29To me, this is a spot where if you want to back the Orioles, I think that's a great price
02:34of minus one away.
02:35And you've got to hope that the offense shows up last night.
02:38Because, like you said, Pete Alonzo has been on fire.
02:40And McGreevy is just not a pitcher that's worth any kind of serious bet, even at plus 100.
02:47Yeah.
02:48And the Cardinals, five games behind the Padres for that final wild card spot heading into today.
02:54But the Padres getting ready to close out here, top of the ninth, one out.
02:59They are up 3-0 over those Pirates.
