00:00Queens tonight game number three between the Mets and the Dodgers series tied 1-1

00:10as they head back to Queens here let's start with Francisco Lindor opened up

00:14game number two with a leadoff homer to set the tone for the Mets he loves the

00:20pressure of the playoffs he's having a great time. I thank the Lord for helping

00:25me be able to to contribute in the postseason there's a lot of pressure and

00:35that's pressure it's a blessing in a way you know because I've sat home this

00:43time of year and it sucks so to be in this position right now I think it's

00:49fantastic it's fabulous. There you go so let's get it on. It's not fun sitting at

00:56home this time of year that's for sure Francisco has felt that in the past I

01:00watched all 12 minutes of Dave Roberts yesterday at Citi Field I watched all 12

01:08minutes of his press conference last night nine of it was spent on these guys

01:13constantly asking him about what's wrong with Otani that's it I mean almost every

01:18single question was why is an Otani hitting with nobody on base remember

01:22he's hitting with guys on base. He's not hitting with nobody on bases when he's

01:27not hitting. Here's Roberts. Is there any thoughts about shuffling the lineup for

01:32the rest of the series? No there isn't I just think that you know you know early

01:42on it's just funny how things change where there was a lot of concern about

01:46Shohei not being able to get hits with the runners in scoring position and now

01:50we're all trying to find ways that he's have to get guys on base so we can hit

01:55right so I kind of find that comical a little bit so I think that I don't think

02:02anyone can predict who's gonna get on base in game three or game four. Yeah

02:09well he's not hitting when no one's on base and that's a fact so that's just

02:14all there is to it he's been he's been struggling worse than judge let's face

02:20facts that's just the reality of it and so is Will Smith he's not hitting either

02:25the only guy that started hitting was Betts and you know obviously they have

02:32dangerous hitters Freeman can be dangerous I think Teoscar Hernandez is

02:37dangerous and then Muncy can be dangerous but you can't tell me that

02:43Otani looks good and it is a problem if he's not hitting if he's an out every

02:50time he goes to the plate it's a problem it is a problem if it's an out every

02:56time he goes up now Gabe gave you some of these earlier and I always like to

03:00give them as well now you saw a judge break out last night I wouldn't be

03:04surprised with Severino on the mound tonight if maybe you did see something

03:07from Otani whether that space is empty or not three four six with a home run

03:11off of him also Betts 11 for 34 remember Betts that was a lot of that

03:16was winning with the Red Sox and the and Severino's with the Yankees so Severino

03:20and Betts have seen each other quite a bit in the past on the other side he

03:26wasn't kidding about these Alonzo numbers against Walker Bueller five for

03:3114 four of those five hits home runs for Alonzo so I think we I think we have

03:39Alonzo tonight on the card for the homers Lindor is one for two with a

03:43homer off of them how about the wink man who I know is always a big price four

03:48for 15 with two homers off of Walker Bueller in his career go Winker so he's

03:53hit him as well so I think we have a few guys that maybe we can ring the bell

03:58with when we come back I'll give you all the numbers for tonight for the Mets and

04:04the Dodgers and you give us a little who do you think is gonna win game number

04:08three no I mean I'm listen it's the same thing you already you already know

04:14where I'm going it's like and here are the numbers for tonight the Dodgers

04:20Scotty very small road favorite minus 115 with Walker Bueller on the mound you

04:27have minus 105 at this moment with the Mets total is a seven and a half both

04:33these games of course in this series have gone over so far the first two

04:37games will we get more of the same tonight in Queens I think so and I

04:41think it'll be so lit there and I think the Mets a win I think they are better

04:47than everybody I they all they do is win all they do is come through in the

04:53clutch big moments big hits big homers big plays double plays they've been

05:00getting the pitching they've been getting the relief they've been getting

05:04the door closed they're doing everything right Mendoza's pulling the

05:08strings like a marionette I like the Mets and you keep giving me these prices

05:13thank you they seem to be this year's magic carpet ride right it seems like

05:21there's one every year in baseball and it feels like the Mets are the team that

05:25has that I'll go with you with the Mets tonight I'll go with you with the over

05:29tonight I think the Mets I think I told you yesterday I think they'll win two

05:32out of three at City and find a way to win one of those two games at Dodger

05:36Stadium to get themselves back to the World Series series price by the way you

05:42can still get the Mets at plus 130 heading into game number three tonight

05:46Dodgers minus a buck fifty five that of course for the series so we can jump on

05:52that look I get everyone's fascination with the Dodgers for me it's basically

06:01Otani that's that's the fascination well he hasn't done anything now I'm

06:07sure that he could break out in Queens like a mother for Ella he could he could

06:12rake a homerun every game he could do a lot of damage but he hasn't so that

06:20price on the Dodgers I don't understand why everyone's so fixated on them that

06:25they're gonna win the series and go to the World Series and win the World Series

06:29they their favorite in everything they were in trouble against the Padres and

06:34the Padres let it slip through their fingers and I don't think the Mets will

06:39and I don't even like the Mets but I respect them I think they're a really

06:44good team I think they are in my opinion right now the best team in the remaining

06:52teams that are playing are the Mets I think the Mets are the best team they've

06:56been the best team I've said it five million times since June 1st they have

07:00been the best team in baseball all summer and now it's almost for Halloween

07:05and they're still the best team in baseball and no one thinks they're gonna

07:09win it's so funny to me all they do is win all they do is win and everyone

07:14still thinks it's the Dodgers I think they're sadly mistaken I mean I won't

07:19you know I'm not gonna stab myself if the Dodgers win the series and go to the

07:23World Series because then I can watch the Yankees beat them
