00:00I mean, I would not back Marcus Strowman all that much guarantee that Boone's going to
00:08leave him in for about four outs too long.
00:11We know that's going to happen just because he has to get through five, right?
00:14But here's the interesting part.
00:15The Yankees are 10 and 15 straight up as an underdog this year.
00:18They are a short dog here tonight, Tampa Bay, the slight favorite in this spot here.
00:23And look, you guys know my thoughts on the Orioles.
00:25I've been telling everybody all season long.
00:26I thought they were going to win the AL East and that they were a better team.
00:29Here's the dichotomy.
00:30The Orioles have seven guys and two jabronis in their lineup.
00:34The Yankees have two guys and seven jabronis in their line.
00:37That's the ultimate difference as to why the Orioles are that much better than the Yankees
00:41are right now.
00:42So after you get through Soto and Judge, it ain't that hard to get guys out.
00:48When you're batting Trevino and these guys who are hitting less than 200 on a night in
00:53night out basis, I'm not sure what you would like.
00:56As much as I despise Aaron Boone, I'm not sure what else he can do.
00:59You can only play the guys that are on the roster right now.
01:01This is a poorly constructed roster.
01:03Who would have thought I would be saying here as we approach the all-star break, God, I
01:07miss John Carlos Stanton because that's not a phrase I ever thought I would utter, you
01:12know, his entire contract with the Yankees.
01:15But they do miss his bat for as much as his 245 average.
01:18The guy at the bottom of the ballpark and every time he touched the bat with the ball,
01:21it seemed to go a long way.
01:22So that was enough for that lineup to look a little bit different.
01:25Not the case right now.
01:26Guys, I like the under tonight.
01:28Believe it or not, I will believe that the Rays can't score because I think their offense
01:31stinks and this is a team with a negative 60 run differential for a reason because they're
01:35not good.
01:36But, you know, hopefully Stroma doesn't get blown up.
01:40We knew Radon was going to get, he's a hump.
01:42We knew he was going to get killed last night.
01:43We're never packing either.
01:44But, you know, as long as Stroma keeps mostly out of trouble here tonight, I like the under.
