00:02Mick Abel's going to be back out on the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies

00:04going against Elder, the right-handed pitcher for the Braves.

00:08Excuse me.

00:087-15 start tonight.

00:10A favorite opened up overnight, Joe.

00:12You see that marker right now?

00:13Minus 138.

00:14That's gone.

00:15Minus 162 is the current number for the Atlanta Braves.

00:19A total, which opened up at nine, now sits at nine and a half.

00:2480 degrees in Atlanta tonight.

00:25Wind blowing out with a chance of rain.

00:27But how about that line movement in the favor of the Atlanta Braves?

00:32Yeah, and I'm kind of shocked with that, if we're being honest.

00:36That was the only night game we had last night, right?

00:43Philadelphia licking their wounds, but earlier in the day from losing once again to Houston.

00:49I think that's a pretty good price for the Phillies.

00:53I'm sorry.

00:53I do not trust Atlanta in this spot.

00:57I think the rookie, Abel, has actually been pretty good.

01:00I think he has shown he certainly belongs, and they need him.

01:03They need him to come up big here tonight.

01:06It's a big battle for the top of the National League East, one in which I'm much more comfortable

01:11taking the plus money with Philadelphia.

01:12Well done.
