00:00NL Central, Joe Ranieri. It's been all Cubs so far this season. Great lineup, getting good pitching

00:05and away they go. The favorites to win the Central by a mile, it's still the Chicago Cubs,

00:09but they played today against the Milwaukee Brewers. 907-908 on the rotation at 8.05 starts

00:15tonight. Milwaukee's going to throw Patrick going up against the Cubs Brown. You take a look at the

00:19side in this. Opened up at the FanDuel Sportsbook overnight at a minus 152. You see the graphics at

00:24a minus 148. Live, it's back up to a minus 152 price. If you look at the total, nine and a half

00:30overnight has shifted down to nine, which means you always want to check the weather conditions,

00:35which by the way, are mid 80s with a light wind blowing out and a drop in the total. Is that

00:42just because you look at that Brewers lineup like it's Kristen Yellich and a bunch of bums right now,

00:47but that lineup is solid for the Cubs tonight. Favorite for the Cubs. They're at home, Joe.

00:51What are some initial thoughts between the Brewers and the Cubs for you?

00:55Well, you're right. Solid lineup, but let's take a look at the last five

00:59games for the Cubs. Let's see. They scored two runs against Philadelphia, three runs against

01:05Pittsburgh, one run against Pittsburgh, two runs against Pittsburgh, and three runs against

01:10Pittsburgh. They can't hit right now. If you think the Yankees are going through it,

01:14the Cubs have been doing this for a while now. So yeah, I get why the total is dropping.

01:21It would not shock me at all if this thing drops under nine, in fact, here, and it keeps going

01:27south. You got two pitchers in Brown and Patrick that have been more than capable of limiting

01:34the damage here. I lean the Cubs, but I like the under more with these two teams. Can't trust them

01:42offensibly right now.
