00:00 I don't think we've had a game this year where the Dodgers have been dogs.
00:07 Maybe there has been one, but it's an extremely rare occurrence that the Dodgers are not the
00:13 favorites in a baseball game.
00:14 They're in Pittsburgh tonight against the Pirates where they lost one nothing last night
00:18 on the Swinsky home run.
00:20 And of course it's because Paul Skeens is going for the Pirates minus 115 for the Buccos
00:26 and minus 105 for the Dodgers who have the big maple going.
00:29 I love Skeens, Gabe.
00:31 I think that he's fun to watch.
00:34 He hasn't exactly like, I know he's got a lot of strikeouts, but he's given up a couple
00:37 homers.
00:38 He hasn't exactly been like shutting out everyone every time.
00:42 Why are the Dodgers dogs tonight, Gabe?
00:45 The Skeens hype is real and people just saw the Dodgers get shut out.
00:50 Listen, the Dodgers offense has been struggling a little bit as of late.
00:54 It's been a couple of weeks actually where they just really, they're not really putting
00:59 up any big crooked numbers in any innings.
01:01 The Dodgers, they'll get a solo shot here, a solo shot there.
01:05 The thing is they're so good that even when they slump, it doesn't really show in their
01:10 batting average.
01:11 You know what I mean?
01:12 Like, like Mookie Betts could be struggling and you tune in, you're like, yeah, he's still
01:16 hitting three 33 or something.
01:18 So it hasn't, I'll tell you one thing about the Dodgers.
01:22 They, it sounds cliche Carver.
01:25 They're not very good bro on the West coast.
01:28 For when they leave the West coast and they go into the East coast and the mid wet, like
01:33 they really are sort of, they get like in this bubble on the West coast and they get,
01:37 they'll get rolling and stuff.
01:39 They haven't been a great road team in certain spots.
01:41 They, they sort of get bored.
01:43 The bottom of their order has been bad as well.
01:47 But tonight, as you stated, it's almost a classic spot, isn't it?
01:50 They're coming off a shutout.
01:51 You got Skeens, his kids actually favored.
01:54 And I think the Dodgers are going to rough them up tonight.
01:56 Actually.
01:57 I think this is a, this is going to be one of the big league moments, kids like go back
02:02 to the game because Otani is going deep on you.
02:05 They're going to rough you up and you know, they're fired up.
02:08 They just got shut out.
02:10 You got some kid, they're underdogs.
02:13 No one tell Otani, you know, don't bring up gambling around him.
02:18 But somebody, somebody is going to say, damn, man, look at this.
02:21 We're underdogs today.
02:22 You guys like, wow, we're underdogs to the pirates.
02:25 So all, all kidding aside, Carver, I do like the Dodgers tonight.
02:29 And it sounds like you do too.
02:31 I love the Dodgers tonight and I'm with you.
02:33 I think that some of these guys are going to get them tonight.
02:35 Like you're even getting some prices for these Dodgers to Homer tonight.
02:40 And like you said, they have been slumping.
02:41 So that factors in a little bit, but Otani a plus three 30.
02:46 I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but for Otani, that's a lot.
02:50 It's usually like two 72, 80, you know, right in that area.
02:53 So you're getting a little bit on Otani bets, five 40 to Oscar Hernandez, five 60.
02:58 You're getting good Homer numbers for the Dodgers.
03:00 Wow.
03:01 Big numbers.
03:02 And let's just be real to this.
03:04 This is what everybody wants to see.
03:06 Oh, Tani versus Kings, right?
03:09 A guy that's going to throw it 102 against the guy that can hit it 130 miles an hour
03:13 off of his back.
03:15 So do the math.
03:16 I mean, this is this the modern baseball that we're in right now.
03:19 And they do do the math.
03:20 Unfortunately, they do the math too much.
03:22 And that's why we have launch angles and the analytics that we do right now.
03:26 But it's simple physics, Mike.
03:28 If Otani makes contact with the ball and keeps it in play, it's going over the wall.
03:33 Like the sheer gravity of it, like the ball coming in that fast, Otani making contact
03:39 with it, it's gone.
03:40 I'm definitely getting a piece of Otani.
03:42 I like your style, but just spraying the board here with some home run props tonight.
03:47 Somebody's going deep on him.
03:49 It's power pitchers.
03:51 That's their thing, right?
03:52 We all know power pitchers.
03:53 They'll give up home runs because if you make contact, it won't stay in the park.
