00:00The Athletics are taking on Minnesota here tonight, Tom.
00:04And the Athletics, listen, they've dealt with a lot of injuries.
00:08We all know once Kurtz went down, the whole dynamic of this team changed a couple of weeks prior to
00:15the All-Star break.
00:17But the bullpen that they're rolling out is laughably big.
00:21Almost a 13 ERA in the last seven days, Tom.
00:25The single worst in Major League Baseball.
00:29And Minnesota coming off of that 12 inning win yesterday at home.
00:33Took two or three from the Guardians.
00:37Zebby Matthews going up against Lopez here.
00:40I want to bet it over.
00:42What are you thinking here in this one?
00:44You know, part of me wants to say that the Twins, a team I've been low on the entire year.
00:49I think it's a decent price for them at minus 144.
00:52I really do, where I think they can win this game.
00:56I don't love it.
00:57But I think the runs should be front and center for both of these teams.
01:01Because the Twins, they could probably do 75% of the heavy lifting in this game.
01:06And if the A's can get three across the board, I think we should be looking at an over.
01:10If the A's, just do your part.
01:12Give me three runs.
01:13I think the Twins will do the rest.
01:14And this game cruises over.
01:15We got some nice hitting weather there too today.
01:17So it's the mid-80s with the winds blowing a little bit out towards left field or across the field
01:22from right to left.
01:24It's not bad when it's all said and done.
01:27Yeah, no, it's actually not here.
01:29In fact, double-digit winds do across.
01:31But yeah, people forget Minnesota.
01:34It's still a pretty good hitter's ballpark there, Tom.
01:37And listen, Lopez doesn't scream shutdown in any way, shape, or form, which means that bullpen is going to get
01:45involved, which means runs are coming there.
