00:00The Padres and the Dodgers. Michael King, who was great for

00:06San Diego to start the playoffs in their wild card set against

00:11Atlanta, gets the nod tomorrow. San Diego minus 144 for game

00:15three and an ever so slight favorite DRS despite not really

00:20having the home field to start, not being the division winner

00:24but tying things at a game all as we get ready for game three

00:27tomorrow. Great. Now, look, I told you before the series

00:31started, the San Diego Padres is going to win the series. Same

00:34way you talk about the Philadelphia Phillies by saying,

00:36every time we take the mound, it's going to be the Padres

00:39with the better pitcher on the mound. That goes a long

00:41distance. The the for star power, man per man, maybe the

00:45two best players in baseball on the Dodgers but neither one of

00:48them is pitching right now which includes Chile Otani which if

00:51he was in his form, he probably would be taking the mound in

00:54games one, two, or three and they'd be giving you the

00:56advantage but Michael King has been so sensational and you

00:59look at the fan blue sportsbook to win game number three, it's

01:01minus 144. Now, you rewind this clock been 2 years and say,

01:04hold on. Walker Bueller's on the mound for the Dodgers.

01:07That's a stone cold Dodgers victory and they're the

01:09favorite in this game. No questions asked but we're still

01:11waiting on Walker Bueller to get back to pre-injury form and

01:15we're seeing Michael King as what Walker Bueller was just a

01:18few years ago for the Padres, excuse me, for the Dodgers who

01:21now sits on the Padres mound. He has been flawless. I expect

01:24them to be very good here. Now, yes, there's going to be crazy

01:27innings. There's going to be pitching performances that we

01:29expect and pitching performances that we don't expect here but I

01:32do agree the Padres should be the favorites now getting home

01:35field back and they have their hammer on the mound in game

01:38number three. Love what I see out of the Padres and they

01:41should be able to win this series which includes winning

01:43game number three and taking that commanding two to one

01:46series lead which everybody wants in a five game set.
