00:00And we're going to start out there in the AL West.

00:02And we talked about the Astros already today,

00:04hammering the Philadelphia Phillies, three-game sweep,

00:07looking good now at a 48-33 clip on the season,

00:10now six and a half games better than the Seattle Mariners,

00:14seven and a half better than the Angels,

00:15eight better than the Rangers,

00:17and 16 games better than the Athletics.

00:19It's almost like if you weren't paying attention,

00:21oh, the Astros, well, okay,

00:24they're up six and a half games again.

00:25It's just what this team does, man.

00:27And Alvarez coming back to that lineup,

00:29this could be a buy-on team the rest of the way, Joe.

00:33Yeah, listen, it wouldn't shock anybody, right?

00:36I mean, my goodness, now, the Astros, look at that.

00:40Mariners, Rangers, Angels, and Athletics.

00:43Who else do we trust?

00:45The Astros have obviously, and again,

00:47doing it without their best hitter,

00:49and yet here they find themselves now

00:51at almost a minus 500 price.

00:54I don't trust the Mariners.

00:55I know this, the Mariners won't make any moves

00:57by the tread deadline to make themselves better

00:59and make a run.

01:01The Rangers, I still hold out a little bit of hope for them,

01:05but my goodness, they are just floundering as well.

01:09But at 11-1, that's not a bad price, Donnie.

01:12But the Astros, something, you know,

01:15something would have to go hard left

01:17for this team not to be in the conversation

01:20come the end of August, beginning of September,

01:22to win the West.
