The Orioles are in Detroit against the Tigers tonight.
They're going to have Zac Eflin against Bo Brisky.
The Yankees are at home in the Bronx with Clark
Schmidt, who comes back for them against Tanner Houck, who
got pushed back because he has a dead arm.
So if he's got a dead arm, Scotty, that means
I want to see some long balls tonight from the
Yankees.
That's what I want to see.
Oh, so he's got a dead arm.
So I'm on the strippers, the pinstripers in the Boogie
Down and the over.
And I got to tell you, I like the Orioles
in Comerica.
They quite last night and lost by a couple of
runs.
I know the Mets are playing in Philly.
Do you have the stones to take the Mets tonight?
The way they've been playing, Mike, they've been tearing it
up.
I like a shot with them at that price at
plus about 40, even though they're taking on NOLA.
A hot team is a hot team.
I don't care who they're facing.
I agree with you.
I like the way the Mets are growing.
Right now.
My only concern is Quintana tonight against them because Cantana
tends to give up a lot of long balls and
you have the Phillies in town which means you might
give up some.
On the other side of the coin, the Braves have
the Dodgers in Atlanta.
As far as following that NL wild card Scotty Landon
Nack and Spencer Schwelenbach going tonight and that's a pick
em at -110 both ways.
Arizona has Milwaukee at home late night as well in
that NL wild card race, which is Eduardo Rodriguez and
Freddy Peralta tonight.
Yeah, the the brains keep stubbing their toe.
I like the Dodgers there.
And you told me about this other one.
Milwaukee, Arizona.
I like the snakes at home with Rodriguez over Peralta.
That's going to be a hell of a series in
the desert, without a doubt.
How about degrom pitching tonight for the first time since
Toby John?
He's pitching for Texas.
I doubted Rocker last night, but he pitched well.
Maybe I'll take degrom just for the hell of it.
And I always love Logan Webb when he pitches at
Oracle.
I like him to upset Cease in the Padres tonight
in San Francisco.
Yeah, that one right now.
Padres minus $1.20, even money for Logan Webb and a
6 1/2.
Logan Webb has been excellent this year.
Scotty, of course, with his 3-4 ERA.
So Cease and Webb, a very good pitching matchup that
you have there.
The Buckos have the Royals at PNC if you're interested
in that.
How about this one?
The Cubs are going into the black hole.
Teams that go into the black hole, first game in
a series, they lose.
Give me the Rockies tonight in the black hole.
Of course, every team, no matter how good they are,
first place, whatever they go in there, they lose the
first game.
Every time they go in there, it must be something
in the air, the water, the noodles, the tennis balls.
I don't know what it is.
I'll take the Rockies tonight at home.
And the Pirates, Who did you say they're playing?
The Royals.
Pirates and Royals at PNC Martian Ortiz.
Ah God, the Royals are going to beat the snot
out of the Pirates tonight in Pittsburgh.
Beat him like a rod headed stepchild.
They're going to beat him like a rented mule, like
Mike Lang used to say.
