00:00Spencer Schwellenbach gets the start for Atlanta, the Braves greater than a dollar and a half

00:07favorite at home against the New York Mets, and Tyler McGill gets the start for the Amazons.

00:13I'll just say this about Schwellenbach, of course, out of Nebraska, so I like the kid.

00:17His first six starts, or his first, yeah, six starts into June, at the end of June,

00:22he was 1-4 with a 5-6-8 ERA.

00:25He actually won the opener against the Mets on Tuesday night, the Braves victorious 5-1.

00:33Schwellenbach is one of his last three starts.

00:35He was 1-4 with a 5-6-1 ERA at the end of June.

00:39From that point, he is now 8-7 with a 3-4-7 ERA.

00:45He gets a huge honor to start today against McGill and the Mets at home.

00:49Yeah, and by the way, both of these pitchers are in pretty good form.

00:53You look at that last 60 days, Ben, you look at Schwellenbach, a 3.29 XFIT, but also Tyler

00:57McGill, 3.40.

00:59Here's the interesting part.

01:00Now, of course, people that like to bet Major League Baseball are going to watch this game

01:03and bet accordingly.

01:04It's very hard to predict, even on a total.

01:07The reason I say this, are you throwing your best bullpen, guys, in game number one, Ben,

01:11when you're down 4-2 in the seventh inning?

01:13Let's honestly think about that.

01:15The chances of coming back would be slim, and in a regular season game, you absolutely

01:18would do that, but are you going to use your high leverage, guys, knowing that you probably

01:22need to be game number two?

01:23It's a wild atmosphere, it really is.
