00:03 But if I'm looking at the top four teams in Major League Baseball and

00:05 splitting them up, Kevin, two and two, two National League teams,

00:08 two American League teams.

00:09 To me, it really is the Dodgers and the Phillies, the Yankees and

00:13 also the Orioles, and I don't see much pushback from anybody behind them.

00:16 The Braves would have been there, but you can't lose a Cy Young pitcher and

00:19 an MVP and expect still to be yourself.

00:22 And also, the Philadelphia Phillies with a five or six game lead now this early,

00:25 typically you're down five or six games this early to the Braves to try to chase

00:29 them down outside of those top four teams.

00:32 Do you see any other teams that can sort of creep into that equation?

00:34 Cuz for me, it looks like the top four and everybody else.

00:37 >> I think the difficult thing is, so far,

00:42 history would suggest that the buy is not helpful, right?

00:47 Let's forget the idea that the buy is harmful, which is absolutely on the board.

00:52 It suggests it is not a beneficial,

00:55 something that is beneficial to these teams at the top.

00:58 So I think you're right, Donnie, those are the four best clubs.

01:03 Cuz again, the Atlanta stuff, sometimes there's injuries,

01:06 there's overreactions in value.

01:07 I hate every Atlanta number.

01:09 If you made me bet a Brave number, it would be to miss the playoffs.

01:13 I just don't think you're getting enough at that 14 to 1 marker.

01:16 But I think based on what we've seen from Major League Baseball,

01:21 even if you're right, Donnie, those teams at the top are the best in the bunch.

01:25 And I bet Baltimore before the year to win a World Series,

01:28 if I were to bet another team, I'd want a big ticket.

01:32 I expect this team to be in the mix type of team,

01:36 a San Diego Padres, a Milwaukee Brewers, for example.
