00:00Chase Burns, the flamethrower, makes his debut tonight against New York.

00:05The Yanks send out Carlos Rodon, who has been great this year in pinstripes.

00:09And because of it, the New York Yankees are favored in Cincinnati at minus 166.

00:15Nine and a half is that total.

00:17Burns making his debut.

00:18Again, second pick of last summer's draft in 2024.

00:23He becomes the fifth player DRS already taken in last summer's MLB draft

00:27to make their Major League Baseball debut.

00:29Young talent quickly to the Major Leagues.

00:32That is Chase Burns tonight as well for Cincinnati.

00:35Always hard to bet.

00:36And it's hard to say, well, I'm going to fade the kid coming up.

00:38I'm going to back the kid coming up.

00:39You used to like to give the young flamethrowers, right?

00:41Because there's two different prospects that come up we talk about.

00:44The guy that's looking to make his Major League debut after eight years in the minors

00:47and give him a shot because we don't want to call up the guy who just drafted two years ago.

00:50This is a different one.

00:51This kid's ready to go, which means he has electric stuff.

00:54You saw Robleski, or was it, who was it?

00:57Miserowski?

00:57Miserowski.

00:57The kids from Miserowski, excuse me, coming up for the Brewers.

01:01Flamethrower.

01:01Like, hey, he did really well until you get a book on him.

01:04Maybe we get this here from the young flamethrower here for the Cincinnati Reds.

01:08You saw yesterday.

01:09Hey, look at that.

01:10No statistical information this season coming up on Winans yesterday.

01:13And he got torched over his four and two-thirds, whatever innings pitch he pitched yesterday.

01:17But here's the issue.

01:18You look at Rodon.

01:19Good, solid pitcher here in Major League Baseball.

01:20The Reds don't hit lefties all that well.

01:23Great temperatures.

01:24Small ballpark.

01:25The ball should fly.

01:26But you still do need those pitchers here to hold up their end of the bargain.

01:30The Yankees have done very well against right-handed pitching, particularly over the last month.

01:33And no question Aaron Judge has big-time numbers.

01:35But here's the question.

01:37How do you play this out?

01:38Because you could say, like, hey, I want to take that plus 140 price here at FanDuel and the dog.

01:41But we don't know what's going to happen when the Cincinnati kid gets up there and says,

01:45all right, Chase Brown, start throwing flames at a really good hitting lineup.

01:48I lend the belief to tend to myself to say, let me just watch this one and sit this one out.

01:52It could go either direction.

01:54And there's not a lot of angles I want to play on the Reds as opposed to, hey, this kid's a really good pitcher

01:58and he might be able to hold down the Yankees.

01:59I don't know if I want to do that.
