00:02 - So Donnie, now we go to game number seven.

00:05 Tonight in Houston, it's the Rangers and the Astros.

00:08 Max Scherzer on the bump for Texas.

00:11 On the other side, Dusty Baker counters

00:13 with Christian Javier, who has been sensational.

00:16 In fact, he out-dueled Scherzer in a big way

00:19 in game number three of this ALCS.

00:22 Donnie, what do you expect with their seasons on the line

00:26 and American League pennant at stake

00:28 in game number seven tonight in Houston?

00:31 - You know what I love best about this, Ben?

00:33 Look at the total for this game for a game seven.

00:35 It's nine and a half with Max Scherzer on the mound here.

00:39 This is supposed to be a game that's, you know,

00:40 oh, I can't believe it.

00:41 They're hovering around six here as a total

00:43 because it'll be a kitchen sink game

00:44 with two good bullpens and hammers on the mound

00:47 in every run.

00:48 But the fact of the matter is you line up

00:49 both of these pitchers with the numbers that they provide.

00:52 This game does track to an over.

00:54 We should be getting 10 runs.

00:55 Here's the difference between the Philadelphia Phillies game

00:57 and this game tonight.

00:59 With Nola, you know he's gonna pitch well.

01:00 Merrill Kelly, as long as he stays somewhat upright,

01:03 I should say, he'll get at least through five innings.

01:05 In this game, it's game seven.

01:07 You might see a starting pitcher come out

01:08 in the second inning, even if he only has traffic

01:11 of maybe one or two bases on there

01:13 and hasn't given up a run yet.

01:14 That's what's so hard for me to say to myself,

01:16 boy, I love the way both of these offensive lineups

01:18 project against right-handed pitching, which is correct.

01:20 When you might be getting lefties across the board

01:22 by the third inning here, which throws off the cap here,

01:25 I think we do get runs in this game,

01:26 but a more confident handicap is probably gonna come

01:29 from the Philadelphia Phillies-Arizona Diamondbacks game.

01:31 Can't wait to see a game seven play out, though.

01:33 High stakes leverage, man.
