00:00Take a look big picture at some of these World Series odds that we've got.

00:03Dodgers still the favorite, even though they're not running away with the West just yet.

00:08Yankees are still second favorite here.

00:12Go down the list.

00:13Is there a team here you think we shouldn't be counting out at this point, though?

00:18No, I mean, I don't think counting out is, you know,

00:21the Braves are the one team that I thought that we would be looking at there,

00:24and they're not there.

00:25So, you know, they're going to have to very fast turn around in order to get this going.

00:29I don't think you could be seven, eight games under .500 in August.

00:33I mean, you can win, but, you know, the West is really interesting

00:36because the Dodgers, the Padres, the Giants, and even the Diamondbacks,

00:40even without Corbin Burns, I feel like they're there as well.

00:43And then the great equalizer of all is going to be if Detroit can get through the AL

00:49because they have a guy that can pitch game one, game four, and game seven.

00:53They're the only team like that.

00:55I'm fascinated, Craig.

00:56I really am fascinated about the American League because the Yankees,

01:00who all of a sudden can't hit the baseball, loses a four straight games.

01:03Then you look at the Tigers.

01:04They're four games clear in the win column there of the Yankees

01:07and also five games clear of the Houston Astros.

01:09Are they for real for you?

01:10Like, do they hold up over the summer as, you know what,

01:13they're just as good as anybody else in the American League?

01:15Yeah, just going through a slump.

01:17I don't think there's anything to be concerned about.

01:19But, look, everybody's going to freak out every day in sports.

01:22And, look, baseball gets more magnified this time of the year, guys.

01:24Let's be honest.

01:25There are not multiple NBA games and NHL games on every night.

01:28We're all watching baseball every day.

01:31Yankees seem to go through offensive slumps every single season.

01:34They can't have judges carry them all year.

01:36But in a week or two, they'll be fine.
