00:00Also up at Citi Field, we were saying how the Mets were so excited to flip the calendar to July
00:06after losing 13 of their last 16 games for a once-proud organization in the month of June
00:13in that month. Maybe time to bring Grimace back for the Amazons. Today, they're hoping to get
00:19off to a good start in July with a doubleheader set against the Milwaukee Brewers. It's Clay
00:25Holmes against Freddy Peralta in the opener. The New York Mets around a minus 132 favorite.
00:31In game number two, though, we don't expect to see New York favored as Jacob Miserowski gets the start
00:37for the Brew Crew. Milwaukee great in June 16 and 9. The Mets not great in the month of June.
00:45How does July start for both of these teams in the doubleheader today?
00:50You know, usually when you're like a hot baseball team, you see the doubleheader. It's like,
00:53I don't know about that because usually we have the better pitcher on the mound,
00:56the better lineup. We'll let it play out. We're playing good baseball. But so many times that
00:59you take a look at even really good baseball teams, really bad baseball teams, the expectations
01:03of a doubleheader is a split. And the New York Mets, if you tell them before these games are
01:07going to start, Ben, they're getting a split. Boy, that feels like a big win for them. Like,
01:11okay, we've got one of these. We move on to tomorrow and away we go. The worst case scenario
01:15would be in game number one if Freddy Peralta out those homes and that would say, oh no,
01:20because now you have Mizorowski in the second game, who again is a young starter, but he's been
01:24really good in his limited innings in Major League Baseball. And then the Mets are like,
01:29all right, we lost game one, bullpen game number two. You lose both of those. Then it's like panic
01:33is falling in the streets once again in New York. But you have to feel good about a doubleheader at
01:37home. You should get at least one, but I got to tell you, it feels like the Mets better get game
01:42number one in this one, Ben, to have success and say, well, at least we got the first game and
01:46we'll see what happens in game number two.
