00:00and we'll be right back. How

00:05the West was one boy. That is

00:06going to be a story we are

00:07going to tell because at the

00:08beginning of the season, we

00:09expected a lot of teams to try

00:11to fight and scratch and claw

00:12with the Los Angeles Dodgers

00:13midway through the season.

00:14Looked like it was a runaway.

00:15Not so fast that wild card race

00:17heating up because of the West

00:19the Diamondbacks five straight

00:20games. They've won nine winners

00:22of nine of their last ten the

00:23Padres winners of nine of the

00:24last ten won two games in a row

00:26they lead the wild card and

00:27also the Braves still in the

00:29wild card race and Reds first

00:31talk to us about that race in

00:32the NOS keeping the Dodgers, you

00:34know on their P's and Q's but

00:35also that wild card race is

00:37really tough. Are there any odd

00:38men out that you're looking for

00:40in that race like the Reds the

00:41Cardinals the Giants that you

00:42don't think might be able to

00:43cross that finish line. Yeah, I

00:45don't see the Reds doing it now

00:47just because I kind of doubt

00:48like their their offensive

00:50ability, you know, five through

00:51nine. I think their front three

00:53can be formidable. Ellie

00:54Dela Cruz is one of the best

00:55players in baseball. I view the

00:57one of the odd men out. I would

00:59say the Cardinals kind of fit

01:01that billing to just because I

01:03doubt, you know that starting

01:05pitching over the course of the

01:07final six seven weeks of the

01:08regular season here the Giants

01:10man. I'm not counting them out

01:12just yet. Blake Snell is

01:13throwing like one of the better

01:14pitchers in all the Major League

01:15baseball. They just got Robbie

01:17Ray back. We know who Logan Webb

01:19is. They can pitch their way

01:21into the conversation. They

01:22already have and frankly, they

01:24can stay there by starting

01:25pitching. You know who I'm

01:26really worried about is the

01:28Atlanta Braves. I this offense

01:31wins click. It's August 14th. I

01:34know that they hold on to that

01:35final wildcard spot, but you go

01:38piece by piece in the Braves and

01:40the Mets lineup. I it is a lot

01:43closer than it should be and do

01:45the Braves have the edge. Maybe

01:47I guess like it helps that

01:49Marcelo Zuna is doing what he's

01:50doing. But at the end of the day

01:52I was expecting a heck of a lot

01:53more from Matt Olsen this year.

01:55I was expecting a heck of a lot

01:56more from Orlando Arcia this

01:58year and Olsen relatively

02:00speaking has been

02:01underperforming. Arcia has just

02:02been brutal in that nine spot in

02:05the batting order. Like the

02:06Braves are really starting to I

02:09don't know up my heart rate a

02:11little bit up my blood pressure

02:12with them.
