00:00Here we go now to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

00:03The Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Guardians.

00:05DRS Cleveland hurting right now.

00:07They have dropped six games in a row.

00:09Not expected to snap that skid against the Cubbies today.

00:13Minus 162 the price in Wrigley.

00:15Total stands at eight and a half.

00:17What do you like today inside the friendly confines?

00:20I believe it's Joey Cantillo, I want to say.

00:22I don't think it's Cantillo, the lefty on the mound.

00:25He hasn't pitched in a while Major League Baseball.

00:27His last tune-up start in AAA baseball.

00:30It didn't work out in his favor.

00:31So I look at this and I think the Cubs should be able to hit.

00:33Even though you know me, Ben.

00:34I like to take a look at at least 45 days, 30 days of some sort of Major League Baseball pitching.

00:3920, 25 innings.

00:40He doesn't have that.

00:41But I don't think that's a detriment to the Cubs where it's like,

00:43oh, they've never seen this guy and he's a flamethrower.

00:45That's not the case.

00:46Cleveland on the other side, going up against Cade Horton.

00:49You have a lot of switch hitters in that lineup.

00:50And they have hit very well against right-handed pitching.

00:53And if you take a look at Horton, he's done not so well against right-handed bats.

00:58But there will be many lefties in the lineup.

01:01Cleveland stinks right now.

01:02But I got to tell you, I see the eight and a half wet Wrigley and the temperatures at 80 degrees

01:06and the wind not really blowing in or out more of a crosswind.

01:09You know what?

01:10I'm banking on runs in this game.

01:11If I don't have two pedigree pitchers in Wrigley and I think those lineups can hit,

01:15why can't we get at least most teams approaching three to four runs apiece

01:19that put you in that ballpark?

01:20Over nine today in Wrigley for me, even though the Guardians, I don't know what they're doing in 2025.
