00:00The New York Yankees at a plus 125 to win the pennant, they are the favorite.

00:06The Cleveland Guardians a plus 320 price.

00:08The Royals plus 360 and the Tigers at plus 360.

00:12Jumpled up there because we do have ties here, but now we're flipping back to the underdogs

00:16ballparks here.

00:17Let's start with the dog prices.

00:19The Kansas City Royals at home today, 1-1 series.

00:22The Detroit Tigers at home today, 1-1 series.

00:25Which way are you going with the Royals and the Tigers as the best chance between them

00:28to win the AL pennant?

00:29Oh, I'd say the Royals if you're looking for a bit of a price, but I tell you what, special

00:36afternoon for the Tigers.

00:37They're looking for their first playoff win since back in 2014 there.

00:42And obviously Tariq Scouble is going to be a big part of that.

00:44Whenever you can get him out on the bum, it certainly looks to swing in their favor.

00:47But I do think the offense of the Royals has been pretty special and they've got a good

00:52shot out there this afternoon.

00:53I think it's Lugo getting the start, but the bats have been absolutely superb.

00:58Bobby Witt's been one of the most exciting, scintillating in terms of offense, what we

01:02have seen.

01:03Seth Lugo, Cole Regan, so they've got a couple of arms they can really lean on.

01:06So for me, in trying to decide between Detroit and Kansas City, I'd probably lean with the

01:11Royals, Donnie.

01:12I feel like this is a team who could certainly beat the best of them.

01:15They can put up a couple of dodgy spots as well, but I just think they may have a higher

01:19gear than what we're seeing from the Tigers coming into October.
