00:00 I do find it interesting the odds not out for game number one tomorrow

00:07 afternoon but I would expect even with maybe a slightly banged up Rangers

00:12 Suarez on the bump the Phil's to be a pretty hefty favorite probably at least

00:16 a dollar and a half on that money line so the most likely outcome is to split

00:21 this two-game series in a foreign land with some uncertainty at 1-1 plus 104

00:27 but for the Phil's to sweep and win only two games plus 138 again I would expect

00:33 and if you disagree Donnie let me know the Phil's to be a favorite of at least

00:37 a dollar and a half in game number one anything can happen in baseball the Mets

00:41 have won three straight sure but I kind of like the Phil's to win this series

00:46 win both of the two games at plus 138 if you were playing in New York or in

00:51 Philadelphia I would agree with you here but there's just a lot of outliers on

00:55 here because as you see when Major League Baseball goes over it's not

00:58 necessarily a business trip for the team like you know say hey we're going to win

01:01 games or take care of our business that's our focus these guys are being

01:04 paraded around town who knows if they're getting there you know the right workouts

01:08 in at this point and grant their professionals are gonna try their best

01:10 doing it but the reason you're going to London is not let's just focus on the

01:14 game it's the growth of brand of baseball which means Bryce Harper is

01:17 probably gonna be every which way in London all over the place before that

01:20 game even starts and also you do feel the pressure as players you're in a new

01:24 environment a sold-out stadium overseas you know you want to be that guy to play

01:29 that's knocking balls 450 feet into the seats as opposed to maybe moving the

01:34 runner over it's a lot of extra curriculars also I say this as a Phillies

01:37 fan things are going really well for the Phillies if they were the Mets my

01:41 Phillies and had that record but that's what's pretty cool to watch I'm

01:44 interested like I hate the fact they're going to London because maybe I'm

01:47 superstitious and it's like hey Mets win two games the Phillies now have love and

01:50 as I told you they come back next week three games at Boston three games at

01:55 Baltimore so let's go Phillies this weekend you got to get a couple dubs

01:59 before you head back out on the road here well I mean DRS 63 games this year

02:04 for the Phil's everyone has been against a team with a losing record it's why

02:07 they have the best mark in Major League Baseball that's what I've heard from

02:11 only one man and his name is Donnie right side second best price for

02:15 Philadelphia to win the National League pennant and yes the Amazons do go across

02:19 the pond following a three-game sweep against the Nash against the Nationals

02:24 so they're feeling a little bit better let's not forget the Mets did drop 15 of

02:28 their previous 20 games entering this week in that three-game set against

02:32 Washington all to say it's been a disappointing season for New York

02:38 (upbeat music)
