00:00Let's flip it over to the National League playoff picture, Craig. Still something to
00:07be decided at the top between the Dodgers and the Phils. L.A. half game advantage over
00:11Philadelphia for that number one seed. But of course, our focus is on those final three
00:16teams. We know the Mets and the Braves postponed until the scheduled doubleheader on Monday.
00:22The D-backs avoid the sweep against the Giants yesterday. The Mets and Arizona tied for those
00:28final two spots in the National League wildcard. Craig, what chance would you give the Braves
00:34of catching either of those two teams?
00:36Well, look, they could clearly catch the Mets because they can now go into Monday being
00:41down and just having to beat them twice to get in. It seems like a tall task, but you
00:46have it in front of you. And, you know, depending on how they manage sale, I know he was supposed
00:51to pitch yesterday, you may end up having him for one of those games. And I think the
00:55Braves will obviously go all in in those final two. But look, the Braves have just
01:00shown us all season long, unfortunately, that as well as they have played at different times,
01:05my guess is at some point between now and Monday, they're going to play in a game and
01:08not score a run. It's a really bizarre offense. And they've been shut out way too many times
01:14for my liking. But again, still up for grabs. Anything can happen. But as we talked about
01:19before, there would be no reason to play game 162. And on top of it, if let's just hypothetically
01:24say the Mets end up winning the wild card on Monday in the first game, Major League
01:28Baseball can't ask them to play a second game. They got to get out of there and go play their
01:31wild card series somewhere else. So, you know, that's 162 will not happen.
