00:00It's Atlanta and it's Tampa Bay.

00:02Chris Sale, the lefty's going to be on the mound,

00:03but we do have a pitching change here for the Rays.

00:06Oil will now get the start.

00:08So if we're re-upping some of those odds,

00:10the opening numbers had Atlanta like a minus 125, Tom.

00:13I'm now seeing across the marketplace, 174s and 175s in a total,

00:18which opened up at eight.

00:19Some lines now starting to creep to eight and a half.

00:21Pitching change, which again, we're doing this on the fly,

00:23so sometimes it's tough to analyze,

00:25but I guess the marketplace is responding to the change in pitchers

00:28not being good for the Rays here, Tom.

00:31Yeah, I was really excited for this.

00:33Shane Boz, it was supposed to be Boz versus Sale,

00:35and when I was doing some prep last night, I was like,

00:38man, despite the weather, despite the stadium,

00:40we could be in for an awesome pitching matchup today.

00:43Like Tampa, they're 13th highest in the league

00:45when it comes to striker rate versus lefties at 24.8%.

00:49Atlanta's off to a slow start, 25.6% striker rate versus righties.

00:52Like we could see a real pitching duel after all the hits

00:55that we saw yesterday, the comeback home runs that the Braves had.

00:57And that's not the case.

00:58So I do lean with the over, and that's solely going to be based on,

01:01I think the Atlanta offense is ready to turn around.

01:03We saw the power start to get through yesterday.

01:05It's no longer Shane Boz, as you said,

01:07it's going to be Boyle on the mound today.

01:09I think we're going to see some runs.

01:10I also do like Sale still to go over his strikeout prop over six and a half.
