00:00With the Phillies ace on the mound in Philadelphia, that being Zach Wheeler.
00:04Philadelphia booked as a minus 154 home money line favorite.
00:09Yesterday, the RS only two total runs scored, and yet the total was nine.
00:13Today, that total down to seven and a hook.
00:16What do you like for game number two between these familiar foes?
00:19If anybody out there has ever listened to the Howard Stern show,
00:22you know, the famous character Beetlejuice and the Whack Pack, Ben, how about this one?
00:25Hey, Atlanta, what are you going to do tonight?
00:27Nothing.
00:28Hanging out.
00:29That's what you're going to do against Zach Wheeler.
00:30He's going to set you up and sit you down tonight.
00:33Here's the issue.
00:34This game's not even going to be played, though.
00:35It is a terrible rainy forecast tonight in Philadelphia,
00:38and maybe a much-needed break here for the Atlanta Braves
00:41that are going to get Zach Wheeler on the mound, whether it's today or tomorrow.
00:44But you look at Zach Wheeler.
00:45He's been nothing sure to spectacular.
00:47If Ranger Suarez went there and laid waste to that lineup,
00:50where do you get a hold of Zach Wheeler?
00:51Like, what's the best effort out of the Braves tonight?
00:53Six innings and maybe you scrape together two runs at this point?
00:57That certainly doesn't hold up.
00:59Now, the question's going to be on the Philly side.
01:00A.J. Smith-Schalver is an okay pitcher.
01:03He's had a decent season here.
01:04That's a good Philly's lineup.
01:05But is Bryce Harper going to be back in this lineup tonight?
01:08Or is he going to miss a day with the contusion to the elbow that he took the pitch off yesterday?
01:12Which, thank goodness, the X-Rays for Philly's fans and Philly's backers came up negative here.
01:16The Philly's are the better team.
01:17How much you want to lay, that's interesting.
01:18But also understand this too, Ben.
01:20If we do have a game underway tonight and you have Zach Wheeler and that's the reason why you bet the Philadelphia Phillies and you play two innings and there's a 45-minute rain delay and he doesn't come out, now it's bullpen on bullpen.
01:31You lost your advantage in that game.
01:33So for me, it is a stay away.
01:35If it was bright and sunny and nice tonight at the start of the game, you know what?
01:39Zach Wheeler's going to win this game and the Phillies will go away and I'll take that price point.
01:42But the fact that there's rain in the forecast where I don't think it's going to play and if it does, I might lose Zach Wheeler.
01:47Yeah, I'm not interested in this game at all.
