00:00My award, also a guy on the comeback, Spencer Strider, 22-1 to win NL Cy Young. Of course,

00:06the elbow injury last year that shelved him after just his second start. But Donnie,

00:11if you remember, and you look around the Cy Young award now, of course, Paul Skeens is the very,

00:16very short favorite. It was Spencer Strider for Atlanta as the super short favorite a season ago

00:23before he got injured. And he is on track, is Strider, to be back in Atlanta's rotation,

00:29maybe in just a few weeks, by the middle of April or late April. I'll take a 22-1 price

00:35on Spencer Strider to win National League Cy Young award. Yeah, those make me nervous,

00:40those type ones coming back from the injury, because it's not so much, because it really

00:43is an award that's based on how many innings, how many strikeouts, and obviously, you know,

00:47what your ERA technically would be. So for me, if he's coming back and he pitches five innings,

00:52but he's going five innings, two hits, one earned run, that's a really good ERA,

00:56and then maybe stretching them out over the summer. But then again, that's why Spencer Strider

01:00is not sitting there at a plus 250 price or plus 350 price, because you are benefiting,

01:04or not benefiting, I should say, from getting that start of the season where, hey, he's 5-0

01:08with two complete games and a million strikeouts. They'll ease him back into the rotation. But

01:12things are going to help him, the extracurriculars. We expect the Braves to be really good this

01:15season. He's going to be a big part of that rotation, pitching in big ball games in August

01:19and September, where we saw Paul Skeens enter in the equation midway through the season and almost

01:24win the Cy Young. So something like that can help you out at a much better price point.
