00:00It's insane because you're not supposed to do this in baseball and trust me on this.

00:04I'm not a Dodgers hater. The Dodgers are playing by the rules that baseball set out.

00:07But the ability for that money to pour in and also at the same time push those numbers out

00:12into the future, only the Dodgers can do that, which is why they're signing superstar after

00:17superstar. But let's be real about this. It's still very hard to win 100 games in Major League

00:22Baseball. But when we're odds men and take a look at the analytics, Tom, just about every

00:26single game home or away, the Dodgers will be favorite. So it will be a long shot if they

00:31finish under 100 wins like the expectations is 105 or even trying to break the Seattle Seahawks

00:37record that they set, you know what, 15, 20 years ago at this point. But Otani, Betts, Freeman,

00:42Hernandez, Muncie, Smith. And the joke is, again, you saw the opening two games of the season.

00:46They're not even full tilt yet. They're not even through their pitching staff and look equally

00:51dominant at this point. So from a betting perspective, I agree with you. The value isn't

00:55the Dodgers going to score win every game, or do you have to take them run line at minus two and a

00:59half to make a profit? You can seek some of those players in that lineup, but also some of the guys

01:04as you talked about down the list, they're saying, well, I don't really want to pay minus 135 price

01:09for no tiny RBI or run score to Mookie Betts. But if Max Muncie is batting in the fifth hole,

01:13Will Smith in the sixth hole, there's guys on base all game long with chances to knock in

01:18multiple runs per game. I just look at that life. There's no deficiencies, which means a Phillies

01:23fan. You get kind of defeated before the season even starts, Tom. Yeah. And the bottom portion of

01:28lineup, I think is going to be where the most profit is. We know what Mookie brings. We know

01:32Freddie Freeman brings a tiny, like they're going to hit 40 and a hundred home runs, wherever it's

01:35going to be. But a guy like Tommy Edmond, a guy like Michael can forward. It was kind of like a

01:39reclamation project for them. Like he's got a ton of power and he may only play. He's a lefty hitter.

01:43It doesn't really have good numbers against lefties at all. He may only play when they're

01:46facing righties, but man, if we're looking at RBI props that are plus one 40 plus one 45,

01:51whatever it might be for some of these players, when they have a team total, that's four and a

01:54half or five and a half, whatever it is, when they have a favorable matchup, all the production's not

01:58going to come from those top four hitters. We're going to see plenty of production. The value lies

02:02with it, with an admin, with a, with a conforter on a week to auto day-to-day basis, wherever it might be.
