00:00you know, Mark Mookie Betts, as long as he just keeps playing the infield, I think it just gives
00:03him a huge advantage over Otani, who's plus 750, I'm sorry, plus 350. You just generally don't see
00:09a DH win the MVP, but I suppose a, what, 55 home run season and something like that could change
00:15people's opinion. William Contreras has been fantastic for Milwaukee. I still leave the
00:19light on for Harper. So I think it's kind of, for me at least, I don't know, I'll get your opinion,
00:24but for me at least, it's Mookie, it's Shohei, or Harper. It's one of those three. How do you see it?
00:31It's way, it's very early. I mean, look, this, you know, one, Mookie has to stay healthy,
00:35right? Like that's going to be the determining factor for us sitting here as we approach Memorial
00:40Day weekend. You know, obviously the numbers are going to be there for him if he's healthy and he
00:45plays. Are we really going to count out, you know, Ronald Licuña again at this point in time to turn
00:50it on? I wouldn't. Are we really going to count out, you know, Tatis to continue to surge on the
00:56way the Padres offense has been as late? I wouldn't. You know, these, these at this point
01:00are sort of flyer bets that you're taking, Craig, on somebody you really feel can get hot. I mean,
01:05obviously there's next to no real reason to jump on bets at plus 150, other than the fact that he's
01:12likely going to win it. So it's a nice little hedge if you wanted to add, you know, if you're
01:16going to take a unit play, put half on bets and take a flyer on somebody else and know if it comes
01:20down to both of them down the end of the stretch there, you know, you're going to be in good
01:23position. But yeah, I mean, look, it's, it's bets is a word to lose at this point, but we just just,
01:29we have so much summer left before we can really start having these conversations.
