00:00Phillies Pirates in Pennsylvania.

00:03Ranger Suarez against Andrew Heaney.

00:05Christopher Sanchez takes on Paul Skeens.

00:08Always a good start for Skeens.

00:10At this point, George, it doesn't matter what the line is.

00:13It's really hard to fade Skeens, although he just doesn't win a lot.

00:17And it's not his fault.

00:18I think it was Jason Stark wrote a great column this week about they just don't hit.

00:22We knew that coming in, but this is not a shock.

00:24That he was going to pitch great, but he's going to lose some games

00:27or get a no decision because the team can't hit.

00:30He's going to leave a lot of games 2-2 here.

00:33You're still starting Skeens.

00:34And by the way, you're starting Sanchez.

00:35You're starting Suarez.

00:36The only question is, are you going to start Heaney?

00:37You're probably not starting Heaney, but Philadelphia, they're not hitting well right now.

00:42No way.

00:43Bryce Harper, he's not going to play.

00:44Well, I don't think he's going to play today.

00:46Schwarber, I don't want to say Slubby, but he's not hitting the long ball right now.

00:50So I wouldn't be afraid to start Heaney.

00:52I'm just probably not doing it.

00:54Tomorrow, listen, it's the under.

00:56I expect a 3-2 game somewhere around there.

00:58But I'm not afraid to start Sanchez tomorrow, Greg.

01:01Maybe I don't get the win, but I think my other numbers will be he'll strike batters out.

01:05The ratios are going to be just fine.

01:08Diamondbacks taking on the Reds.

01:09We've got Nick Martinez at home for the Reds against Ryan Nelson.

01:14And then Zach Gallen takes on Brady Singer on Sunday.

01:18That's the better of the two pitching matchups.

01:20Absolutely.

01:22By the way, there's some noise here that Gallen could be traded by the deadline if Arizona falls out of it.

01:27You know, just keep that in mind there.

01:29Because I think he's due for a big contract next year, and he's not pitched all that well.

01:33All right.

01:33So just keep that in mind.

01:35Remember, Arizona Reds, they're going to finish up the suspended game before this game.

01:39So that could play games a little bit.

01:41I think they're going to finish that game 40 minutes later to start the second game.

01:44So for anybody who wonders what's going on here, that's why.

01:47I think they stopped in the seventh inning last night due to the rain here.

01:51So keep that in mind.

01:52I do expect runs today in Cincinnati.

01:56We've got the Braves taking on the Giants Saturday and Sunday.

01:59Bryce Elder against Logan Webb.

02:02Spencer Strider starts Sunday against Landon Rube.

02:05This should be a good Strider start, George.

02:07I mean, like we talked about buying low.

02:09I'd like to see that happen on Sunday.

02:11That's the one we're paying attention to, right, Webb?

02:14I'm sure we'll pitch very well today against the Elder.

02:17It should go well for the Giants.

02:18But we need to see Strider.

02:19I don't expect him to go seven innings, one run, strikeout 11.

02:22But I need to see more.

02:24I need to see him pitch better.

02:25He hasn't done that yet yet.

02:27So we're still waiting for Strider to be that guy.

02:31Astros, Guardians, Hunter Brown, Gavin Williams on Saturday.

02:35We're still waiting on an Astros starter for Sunday against Tanner Bibby, George.

02:39Houston's playing well.

02:41They are.

02:42Listen, no one hates the Astros more than me, but they are playing well.

02:45Brown, another guy, if not for school, we're probably talking about him for Cy Young.

02:49All right, Gavin Williams has been pretty good.

02:51I would expect low-scoring games with Houston and Cleveland.

02:55Royals and White Sox.

02:57Let's wrap up here.

02:58We'll continue on the other side.

02:59Waka and Hauser.

03:01Lorenzen against Shane Smith for the White Sox, who's – I'm guessing they're all –

03:06they make that announcement next month.

03:08I would agree with you there, though.

03:10I do expect it to be him.

03:11Hey, Louis Robert had a couple of hits last night, a couple of RBIs, right?

03:15Maybe finally sort of breaking out of it?

03:17Maybe there.

03:18Royals bounce back today after losing to the White Sox.
