00:00We're talking about this after the show yesterday.

00:02The Red Sox, to me, with all the injuries to the Yankees,

00:07Giancarlo Stanton, Garrett Cole, Luis Hill, Baltimore, dinged up.

00:15Gunnar Henderson, I think, is going to start on opening day,

00:17but he's been hurt.

00:19Grayson Rodriguez, one of their starters, hurt.

00:21Corbin Burns, gone.

00:22They lost Santander.

00:24I would pick the Red Sox to win the division.

00:26That is not the way it breaks down.

00:28Wild.

00:29Some of these future odds on DraftKings to win the ALEs.

00:32Yankees are plus 135.

00:34Orioles plus 270.

00:36Red Sox plus 350.

00:37So why?

00:38Why is that?

00:39Juicy.

00:39Why are the Yankees and Orioles the odds-on favorites

00:43to win the division over the Red Sox?

00:45Before we even dive into how these new guys are

00:48going to play in any of the positional battles,

00:49that surprises me.

00:51I would've thought the Red Sox were higher up than that.

00:52I would've thought so, too, especially

00:54when you take a look at the additions to this Red Sox

00:57team.

00:57So yeah, last year, they only had 81 wins.

01:01But they went out and got two starting pitchers better

01:03than anybody they had.

01:04And they got Bregman.

01:05So he's going to solidify the lineup as well as the defense.

01:10And you're at least starting the year with Trevor Story

01:13and Tristan Casas, right?

01:15You barely had those guys last year, and you got to 81 wins.

01:19So the lineup is better.

01:20The rotation is better.

01:22I guess TBD on the bullpen.

01:24I don't want to get too ahead of ourselves in the bullpen.

01:26Because even though Kenley Jansen, I guess,

01:27proved to be maybe a bad teammate and stuff

01:30by the end of the year, you at least knew what he was.

01:32And he and Martin versus Chapman and Hendricks,

01:34I guess that's TBD.

01:35But the lineup, the defense, and the starting pitching is better.

01:39The other two teams, we've been all over this the entire time.

01:42They're worse.

01:43The Yankees had Juan Soto and Garrett Cole.

01:45Now they don't, and they're still

01:47better than the Red Sox?

01:48Yeah, I don't get it.

01:48The lineup for the Yankees is actually pretty bad.

01:51Aaron Judge is better than anything the Red Sox have.

01:53But then, I mean, the next five or six guys

01:56you might take from the Red Sox lineup.

01:58So I don't really get it.

01:59I feel like it's a good buying opportunity.

02:01And maybe it's also one of those, be careful,

02:05like maybe Vegas knows something.

02:07Why are they not as excited on the Red Sox as we are?

02:09What don't we know that we're looking at?

02:11Because I'm with you.

02:12It's a little strange, isn't it?

02:14The good news is it feels like a buying opportunity.

02:15I'm with you on that.

02:16That's what I'm saying, but then famous last words.

02:18Right.
