00:00Ty Juan Walker on the mound at a great start to the season,
00:02fell off a little bit on his last start, to say the least,
00:05going up against the Cubs, Colin Ray.
00:07This line opened up as a slight favor towards the Cubs at minus 126.
00:11You see the graphic here on TV, minus 130, Joe?
00:14It's actually minus 144 now as a favor towards the Cubs
00:18and other marketplaces as high as a minus 150 price.
00:21The total opened up at eight, still sits at eight at FanDuel,
00:24but across the market, some eight and a half are starting to show.
00:26Cooler conditions in Chicago, wind blowing in,
00:29but the Phillies just not in the right space.
00:31Same thing as last year, Joe.
00:33Guys on base can't drive them in a tail as old as time for the fight in Phils.
00:38And nobody's hitting home runs for them.
00:42I mean, they have 21 home runs on the year,
00:45and I think there are eight teams that have less than that,
00:48only eight teams that have less than that.
00:50So you're right, Donnie, to your point, they get these guys on base,
00:54but they're not getting that big shot.
00:56If it's not Schwarber, who's got seven,
00:58or Bryce Harper, I think, who's got five,
01:01where is everybody else?
01:02Where is Baum?
01:03Where's Trey Turner?
01:04Where is everybody else with the long ball here?
01:07I would have expected a little more power from this Philadelphia lineup,
01:11but you're not getting it,
01:12which is why we're kind of mired in a four-game losing streak.
01:16And the Cubs, though, well, the Cubs are getting the hits,
01:19and they're getting the power.
01:21And offensively, I get why the market is leaning towards them here.
01:25I still like the over, though, in this matchup.
