00:00Tonight, our boy Ranger Danger Suarez is going to go for them.

00:07Ronaldo Lopez on the brave side of things.

00:10Phillies minus a buck 35, Braves plus 115.

00:14The nice low seven and a half tonight at the bank, Joe.

00:18Yeah, and again, it was a one of those situations where Atlanta got out early three runs in the

00:25second and third inning and then the bullpens got involved.

00:28And that's when the wheels fell off there.

00:31Give Charlie Morton credit.

00:33I like Rene Lopez has been solid, to say the least, for what he's brought to the table

00:39for this Braves team here.

00:41He's also had last couple of outings have been very good.

00:45Suarez at home much better than he's been out on the road.

00:49Neither team, the Braves, don't exactly crush lefties here.

00:53So I'm going to avoid the bullpens once again, and I'm going to take the first five under

00:59at four and a half here, because I do think this is more like a playoff atmosphere style

01:05game here and the Braves backs against the wall.

01:08I do think it's going to feel like that here tonight.

01:11I think it's going to be another low scoring game.

01:13The total was only eight this morning, I think, Carver.

01:17Yeah, and so it's been creeping down a little bit, Joe.

01:20I like the under two.

01:21You're probably going with the safer play, I think, with the first five going with the

01:27under there as opposed to the whole game, because as we know, anything could always

01:30happen when you get the bullpens involved with any team, anything can always happen

01:35with them. Boston is in Detroit this weekend against the Tigers.

01:40Tanner Houck tonight against Casey Mize, minus 120 for the Sox on the road, even money

01:46for the Tigers and an eight and a half at Comerica.

01:52Yeah, this is interesting.

01:53Tanner Houck is clearly running out of gas and you can tell simply because he's not

02:00missing nearly as many bats as he did early on in the season here.

02:06But, you know, let's face it, he does have a Detroit team here that has a pretty good, I

02:12think the eighth highest K rate against right handed pitching this season.

02:16So it wouldn't shock me if Houck has more success in this game here.

02:22The Red Sox can't win at Fenway.

02:23They can win on the road.

02:26I would lean Boston in this one if I was going to do anything.

02:30Believe it or not, Joe, the Red Sox have lost Houck's last seven starts.

02:35The last seven times he has started, they have lost and a lot of those he has not pitched

02:40well. Six runs last time out against Arizona.

02:43He had another six against Texas on August the third.

02:45He's got a bunch of really bad games.

02:48But in terms of them just winning, they haven't won at all with him on the mound.

02:52See if they can turn that around tonight in Motown.

02:56Second game of the doubleheader in Cincinnati between the Brewers and the Reds.

03:01Tonight, though, you get, you know, usually sometimes those second games, those

03:04doubleheaders, Joe, they call up those, you know, 27 men, the guys in the minors to

03:09pitch. Well, D.L.

03:11Hall will go on the Brewers side.

03:15Rhett Louder will go for the Reds minus 120 for Cincinnati.

03:21Even money for the Brewers.

03:22The Reds are favored tonight over the Brewers and a nine and a half.

03:28Yeah, Louder is a pretty big pitching prospect there for the for the Reds, and so is

03:34Hall, in fact, who was hurt earlier this year and now has come off the I.L.

03:40He's had a couple of a couple of games here over the last couple of weeks.

03:44Both guys can fire it.

03:46Hall's the lefty, Louder is the righty.

03:50This is another one where, you know, I hate expecting back to back wins from a team

03:56here. It feels like usually in the second game, I like to root for the split.

04:02And I think that's exactly where we're going here.

04:04So if I was doing anything, I'd be looking at Cincinnati to get the split here.

04:10Is the Major League debut for Louder, Joe, on the Cincinnati side?

04:14So he is making his ML debut tonight.

04:17We have some guys on the on the Reds with some pretty good numbers against Hall, by

04:20the way, in the limited action that they've seen against him.
