00:00Tonight, your Dodgers start up three games in Queens and it is just so you know, it's

00:12chilly here.

00:14It's perfect.

00:15It's clear.

00:16It'll be cool.

00:17Not freezing, but cool.

00:19Very cool for the games.

00:21The weather's not going to change.

00:23You're not seeing, I believe in those three games here, any rain.

00:28It's supposed to be pristine for like the next eight, 10 days around here.

00:32It's been, we haven't seen rain in a month in New York.

00:36It's been unbelievable.

00:37It's been like Indian summer.

00:38So weather's not an issue in either that series or the Yankees, even though they've gone to

00:43Cleveland now.

00:44I don't know what the weather's like there, but here it's been perfect.

00:46So tonight you're going to have Bueller and Severino.

00:52Bueller and Severino.

00:53I would expect some runs to be scored tonight in tonight's baseball game.

00:57All the talk about Walker Bueller and his struggles, you know, we've talked about it

01:02a lot.

01:03I thought he was actually pretty good against San Diego with stuff was pretty good.

01:06He had a lot of bad luck early in the baseball game.

01:09He's been hit or miss like Bueller's gotten better over the last month or so.

01:14And you look at Severino, Severino has given up three or more runs in five straight starts.

01:20So and you look, Mookie Betts hits them pretty hard.

01:24Otani's only faced them six times, but it's three for six.

01:27Conversely, for the prop players tonight, Alonzo absolutely murders Walker Bueller.

01:33Just for the record.

01:34He's got, he kills it.

01:36I think he's got four home runs in his career against Bueller.

01:39Big game, Scott.

01:40You know, big, big three games here.

01:41I think, you know, it looks like this series is going to go six or seven would be, you

01:47know, I'd be really surprised.

01:48I'm sure you would be too if anybody won three straight games here at Citi Field.

01:54It's a madhouse.

01:55It's going to be a circus.

01:56You got Grimace.

01:57You got Doc Good and Darryl Strawberry, and it's going to be a big party there.

02:01But once the game gets going, you know, home field in baseball doesn't really mean very

02:07much.

02:08Really looking forward to this game tonight, Scott.

02:09You know, I'm not going to say it's the be-all end-all game because it isn't, right?

02:13If the series is tied at one, there's a lot of racetrack left, man.

02:16This race has just gotten started.

02:18But if you're the Dodgers and you can win with Walker Bueller, it'd be big.

02:22And if you're the Mets, you really want to get this game going because you got Yamamoto

02:26and Flaherty coming back at you after this, Scott.

02:29And I'll just throw this out there looking ahead.

02:31The Dodgers won't have any pitchers left.

02:33Like if this series goes seven, Walker Bueller will be starting game seven.

02:37So then, you know, game two really was so big, man.

02:40If the Dodgers could have gotten, you know, up two, they'd have a little bit more to work

02:45with right now.

02:46But you could argue the Mets have a slight advantage in the series right now, Scott,

02:50due to the home field, the three games in a row at City, and the pitching situation

02:55for the Dodgers.

02:56If the series goes six and seven games, it would have to be a bullpen game, Scott, in

03:01game six, and it would be Walker Bueller in game seven.

03:05So I'm just stating.

03:06You know what I mean?

03:07I think it's a pretty, it is a big game, you know, to sort of get the leg up, especially

03:12if you're the Dodgers, bro.

03:13If you can get up two-one and you're sending Yamamoto to the hill, who I have a lot of

03:16confidence in, you're going to be feeling pretty good about yourself.

03:20So can't wait for this game, Scott.

03:21It's another one of these days where eight o'clock Eastern can't get here soon enough.

03:25Five o'clock Pacific, and I'm like, damn, it's still early.

03:29Clock is ticking slow today.

03:30Let me ask you.

03:31So you know what the Mets have done since the beginning of June?

03:35They have had the best record in baseball since the beginning of June.

03:39The Dodgers beat the Padres in a great series in five games.

03:45The Mets beat Philly's team that everyone thought the Dodgers were going to be playing

03:49for the pennant.

03:51Are you willing to admit now that the Mets are dangerous and they worry you?

03:57That they're as good or better than the Dodgers, and better than anybody in baseball?

04:01They have been.

04:03I think right now, yeah, obviously they are.

04:05They don't quit.

04:06Right?

04:07Lindor is amazing.

04:08They don't quit.

04:09They've got a ton of resiliency, this baseball team, and I've said, I've been on record.

04:13Listen, if the Yankees are playing well right now, well, they're not playing great, but

04:18they're winning baseball games.

04:20But whoever they play will be a lot tougher for them in the World Series.

04:23Like whether it would have been San Diego, whether it would have been if it's the Dodgers

04:28or if it's the Mets.

04:30So yeah, I'm not dismissing the Mets at all.

04:33Cleveland just don't have enough talent.

04:35You know, like you need players, right?

04:38You know, you can get away with small ball and pitching for a while.

04:43Eventually it's going to catch up to you.

04:45We talked about it yesterday.

04:46We talked about it, Scott, and I said, the Guardians don't have any room for error when

04:49they play the Yankees.

04:50And what do they do?

04:51They literally make, you know, they drop a pop fly in the infield in the first inning

04:56to sort of set the tone of that baseball game.

04:58But yeah, obviously the Mets are dangerous as hell.

05:00If they get to the World Series, I think they can beat the Yankees.
