00:00But also in the race, not for a wild card spot or even a

00:06divisional title once again, the number one overall seed in

00:10the National League. The Dodgers have now overtaken

00:12Philadelphia because of this recent good form and the Phils

00:17on a slide since the All-Star break. Seventy-one and forty-

00:20nine. The record for LA. A game and a half in front of the

00:23Phils who have lost four in a row in our sixty-nine and fifty.

00:28Philadelphia blanked yesterday at home by the Miami Marlins.

00:32Jack, when all is said and done, will it be Philly or LA

00:35with the top overall seed in the National League postseason?

00:39I wish I could give you a reason as to why it's going to

00:42be one of them but frankly, I have no idea. The Phillies have

00:45been sliding like this and you say, oh, like what's been the

00:49issue for the Philadelphia Phillies? I don't know. Like

00:52this is this is a game played every day over six months. So,

00:55you know, sometimes you're gonna run into bad stretches.

00:58On paper, you look at this team. There is no hole on the

01:02Philadelphia Phillies roster which makes me think that the

01:05Phillies will be the team that ends up with the best record in

01:08the National League but again, you can't really understand the

01:12slide. The vibe is clearly not right with Philly right now and

01:16that was a brutal weekend to watch in Arizona this past

01:20weekend. So, I I'm gonna lean the Dodgers just because they

01:23have that, you know, influx of healthy talent of superstar

01:27talent. It's to have Mookie Betts back. It's really nice to

01:31have Mookie Betts back in right field too. I feel like as we

01:35trend right now, I think the Dodgers may end up a couple

01:40games ahead of the Phillies when the Phillies slide does

01:43eventually stop and it might just be too little too late and

01:46they keep, you know, leveling up at the same time. So, if I

01:49were to guess the Dodgers by a couple games but there's no,

01:52you know, firm reasoning for me as to why.
