00:00Paul Skeens, he don't look right to me. I don't know what it is, Tom.
00:05The velocity dip, the control issues. Could this be a game worth back in the home dog here tonight?
00:14You've got to wonder, why are the Pirates favored?
00:18Is it just based on name recognition from Paul Skeens?
00:22Because sure, the name recognition will get you there.
00:25But if this were the real Paul Skeens, would they be minus 110?
00:29Would we be looking at minus 110 and plus 102?
00:33I don't think so. I think we'd be looking at maybe not massive favorites,
00:36like not minus 200 on the road for them,
00:38but we'd be looking at like a minus 130-ish price, I think, on the road for Paul Skeens
00:42if he truly was himself.
00:43And I'd be even more interested in taking the Marlins.
00:45So I like the idea of backing the Marlins at home at plus money.
00:49I know it's not a super big price,
00:51but, you know, you give me Paul Skeens an under on an outs prop
00:56and plus money in the Marlins' money line,
00:58I think that's what we should be looking at.
01:00Maybe he's a little bit better than he has been recently,
01:02but I don't think he goes super deep in the game.
01:04And I'll take the home dog that are desperate for a win right now.
01:08Yeah, I, um, and they are desperate for a win.
01:12It would be nice to get it done.
01:13I love Yuri Perez, but I'm telling you,
01:16that total, too, Tom, sitting at seven,
01:19they just put Stowers on the 10-day IL, I believe.
01:23They were worried about that with a hamstring pull.
01:26Not great there for Miami, who is still hoping, I guess,
01:31maybe that they can get some sort of run going here towards the postseason.
01:36And he was really their big home run threat.
01:39And now without him, yikes, it could be over sooner rather than later,
01:46but should be a good one there.
01:47But seven feels a little light, although that bullpen,
01:51I think we can both agree that Pittsburgh bullpen,
01:54better after the trade deadline than they certainly were prior.
01:58So maybe runs, I like Yuri,
02:00maybe runs will be very hard to come by here tonight.
02:04They should be, you know,
02:06Pirates made some decent moves at the trade deadline.
02:08Not a high-volume moves,
02:10but the moves that I really think they needed to make.
02:13I'm fading,
02:14I think I'm going to be fading the Pirates from here on now.
02:17You know, where they sit right now,
02:19they're six back in the wild card.
02:21I think their season's done just based on where they are.
02:25And I'll take the Marlins in this spot, plus money,
02:27maybe not too many runs throughout the game.
02:29I think the under, if you can get a seven and a half out there,
02:31I'd play it, you know,
02:32even if it was a little bit of juice at minus 130 or so.
02:35Yeah, I agree.
02:36I think, and every time I've backed the first five in the total situation with Paul Skeens,
02:45he ends up giving three runs up in the first or second inning,
02:48and I just can't figure it out with him.
02:50I really can't.
02:51But the good news is Miami,
02:53they got the right pitcher on the mound here.
02:56We'll see if they can get it done here tonight.
02:57That's going to be your 640 game.
02:59But the good news is Terry programme.
