00:00We'll be right back.

00:01I saw this coming yesterday.

00:04You saw it earlier in the day at the FanDuel Sportsbook, that minus 142 range here where

00:08the Phillies were a favorite.

00:09I thought that was a pretty good price.

00:10In the afternoon, shocking to me as well, we thought Kyle Schwarber was coming back

00:14into the lineup, but Bryce Harper might take a little bit longer here.

00:17But Bryce Harper in the middle of the afternoon also activated from the IL and you saw that

00:21line balloon up into that minus 155 price.

00:23And granted, this is just based on yesterday and we were talking about the game before

00:26we actually thought Schwarber and Turner were a formality in the lineup, was the pitching

00:30mismatch between Wheeler and Bobby Miller.

00:33Miller is a decent young pitcher, four hits, excuse me, four innings, 10 hits and nine

00:37earned runs given up later.

00:38And Zach Wheeler, who we told you yesterday, his home starts this year at Citizens Bank

00:42Park, one of the better hitting ballparks in Major League Baseball then, a 1.76 ERA.

00:47Didn't disappoint yesterday, five innings pitch, one earned run.

00:50The game was over at that point, precautionary reasons leaving that game.

00:53I thought the Phillies were great.

00:55It was almost like you get that shot in the arm.

00:56We've all played sports before, right?

00:58Best player in the team comes back here regardless of what you think he's going to do in the

01:01game. It just gives everybody a chance to sit back and relax.

01:05And that's exactly what happened for the Philadelphia Phillies.

01:07That was a runaway victory against a really good ballclub in the Dodgers.

01:11Easy peasy, man.
