00:00up to Toronto. It's the Blue Jays playing host again here going against the Mets. One

00:07team with plenty to play for, the other in the Blue Jays not so much. Both arms have

00:12been pretty strong from what we have seen leading back in for this one. Manea will get

00:16the start for the Mets there and they're listed as your favorites. Minus 120 on the money

00:21line. That total sitting at eight. It was eight runs last night. It was five in game

00:25one. What do we expect for game three, Donnie?

00:28Dubsy, I got 25 pitchers on my card today that have rated here over the past 60 days,

00:32right? If we're looking at these two pitchers today, they've actually come in number six

00:35and number seven on the board. So competitive pitching matchup. If we look at Bowden Francis,

00:40five and two over the past 60 days, 48 innings pitched. Look at this ERA, 1.88 and an XFIP

00:47number of 3.54. Sean Manea has been very good for the New York Mets over the last 60 days

00:51for him. Dubsy, six and two record here, 68 innings pitch, a 3.44 ERA, but a 3.60 XFIP.

00:59So look at those two XFIPs, 3.54, 3.60. We're expecting good performances out of both sides.

01:04Now, if you want to say the Mets need to win this game more than Toronto Blue Jays, sure.

01:09That's a question mark there. Of course, that needs to be answered. And we think the Mets

01:12should win this game. But having said that, they should have won that game last night

01:15and weren't able to do that. If again, we're playing in a playoff atmosphere today, the

01:20Mets just need to win at all costs. I'm probably just going to look here, Dubsy, under the

01:24total once again. These two pitchers coming in pretty good form.
