00:00And Joe, I want to get to some of these other games that we've got on the board, including,
00:08I don't know if you've heard, but it's Paul Skeen's day, which means of course, the entire
00:14world is running to the window and I guess betting Paul Skeen's here.
00:19Are you, what are you going to do here in this one?
00:22You know what, looking at the props, I'm finding the numbers are high and we're having to lay
00:27juice on Paul Skeen.
00:29So I'm looking for value in this one.
00:31And I do think we have more value at looking at both of these pitchers with River Ryan's
00:36coming out for the LA Dodgers, both him and Paul Skeen's to come out nice and strong and
00:42really have a pitcher's duel here between two young rookies.
00:46And I think it should be phenomenal, Joe.
00:48I'm going to look at the Nerfy and yes, I'm still going to have to lay juice on that Nerfy
00:52at minus 120, but I think it has such a strong possibility of hitting.
00:57I also like the first five innings, the first five innings under four and a half runs is
01:01coming in at minus 144.
01:03We have two pitchers here that have such strong numbers and while River Ryan's doesn't have
01:07as much experience out here as Paul Skeen's, he's got very solid numbers.
01:12He's had four starts.
01:14He's got a 1.72 ERA in those four starts.
01:18So I think we have a classic pitching duel staying off the Paul Skeen's props, but I
01:23do expect both of these pitchers to go nice and deep into this game and really limit the
01:28runs in this one, Joe.
01:30Yeah.
01:31I mean, there's, they have to keep winning.
01:35It's a tough sleight of games for Pittsburgh, but if they keep winning, then I think we
01:40keep seeing Paul Skeen's, right?
01:42And anybody who is so fascinated with him winning the Cy Young, which I think remains
01:48to be seen.
01:49I do think, however, he will win a few Cy Youngs in his career.
01:54I don't know why everyone's running to the window and forcing it right now, but I do
01:57think it's correlated to how well Pittsburgh does here over the next couple of weeks.
02:02We'll see if they can actually win one for him today.
