00:00Do you believe the Mets can jump the Braves and go for it against the Phillies, particularly

00:10the way the Phillies have looked over the last month?

00:13They've looked terrible.

00:14Yeah.

00:15Yeah.

00:16And that's the whole thing I've said with the, uh, with the Philly, Scotty, you and

00:20I both know that the Phillies were always a team you wanted to back in the second half

00:25of the season.

00:26Why?

00:27Because that was when they started to come into their own.

00:30This year, the Phillies came out blasting and everyone's like, Oh my God, did they peak

00:36too soon?

00:37Scotty?

00:38Because to me, I think the Phillies problem is they might've played their best baseball

00:42too early and now it's going to be downhill from here.

00:46So I'm with you.

00:47I think Atlanta and the Mets are very much more alive than people want to give them credit

00:51for here rather than Philadelphia.

00:54Let's look at the odds for the, uh, NL East and see, uh, as we looked before, Philly still

01:02minus six bills, Atlanta plus four 25, look at those odds for the Mets.

01:07Oh my God.

01:09Yeah.

01:10They're not giving them.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Well, the Phillies took advantage of a very weak schedule early and took total advantage

01:16of, you know, else did that Tampa did that last year.

01:19Scott, if you remember, they came out red hot in April and may, they only lost like

01:24five games and then they sucked in the second half and barely limped in.

01:28And that was what I fear is going to happen to Philadelphia here, but they want enough

01:33games to be worthy of that price at this point.
