00:009-0-5, 9-0-6 on the rotation.

00:016-45 starts tonight from Philadelphia.

00:04The line opened up at minus 156 as a favorite towards Philadelphia.

00:08That's down slightly to minus 152 at the FanDuel Sportsbook on a live number.

00:12The nines overnight, Joe, still nines across the board.

00:16Diamondbacks, Phillies in Philadelphia.

00:19Well, the only way you can look to back Arizona in this game is early

00:23because Arizona's bullpen is a hot mess here.

00:26They're dealing with injuries at the back end of that bullpen all over the place.

00:32And kudos to them for being able to win the last couple of games there at Citi Field

00:36against the Mets here.

00:39And, you know, Philly last night, Philly played the late game yesterday with Washington,

00:45one of the later starts when Arizona had just beaten the Mets.

00:49And once again, you know, a 4-2 loss by Philadelphia.

00:52Now they've got to turn around and get this Arizona team that, again, that bullpen issue.

00:58And guys, I mean, how much more can they do?

01:02They're not scoring a ton of runs, but the bullpen has stepped up.

01:06They're going to have to keep stepping up.

01:08I don't think they do it in this first game, though.

01:10I think the Phillies end up getting it done full game.

01:13And I think that's a cheap price.

01:14Under $1.50 is a pretty cheap price for Philadelphia,

01:17who's got the advantage in starting pitching in this one.

01:20And bullpen, for that matter.
