00:00we'll start the baseball though with the blue jays who have won eight in a row so they take four from

00:04the yankees and they back that up by sweeping the angels at home over the weekend they're starting

00:09to now open up a little bit of a lead in the al east and now they get to play the white socks uh

00:15for a couple days which should you in theory you hope uh add even more to that winning streak

00:22what's been impressive about the blue jays is they beat good teams and then after or when it's like

00:30a classic letdown spot they beat the bad teams right and the angels aren't even a bad team but

00:36and the angels were playing well going into toronto but you know this all started bro they beat up on

00:40the oakland athletics this is what got it going about a month ago actually and it was like all

00:46right you know you beat you beat the athletics i think it was a four game sweep it was like all

00:50right let's see what you do now are you going on the road what are you gonna do now they did pretty

00:53well on the road right it was like okay and then they came back home and you know i remember weeks

00:58ago i told you man they have that yankee canada day series circled about building up to that and

01:06overtaking the yankees and it actually happened and only have they done that there are three games up

01:11right now the yankees in a free fall they got a much needed win yesterday but how about this from

01:17a betting perspective guys uh the blue jays were like 11 to 1 12 to 1 to win a division before the

01:22year started they were plus 650 midweek last week so after like canada day type they won the first

01:30game after i think it was after the second game they were plus 650 you know what they are right

01:34now plus 140 to win a division the yankees are plus 100 blue jays plus 140 the rays we talk about

01:41them you can't dismiss these guys but they got a massive road trip to conclude the season 47 of their

01:46their first 59 games were at home and the red sox orioles don't forget about them but wow mike

01:53plus 140 only now for the blue jays if i had to ask you right now do you think the blue jays are

01:58going to win a division oh well look i've been for years been a complete yankee pessimist i don't think

02:04the yankees are are that good even as you know i'm thinking blue jays are rays actually i'm thinking

02:09yeah let's not dismiss the rays because blue jays can't play at this pace forever you know what i'm saying

02:14uh the yankees have a lot of problems i don't and if the blue jays are going to play like they

02:19have in the last month they're going to win the a at least or at least get their biggest challenge

02:23from tampa who's i think the yankees might trip i think you guys got to worry about the wild card a

02:28little bit like to be honest because i don't think the jays are going to keep on winning and they get

02:32the rays that are just the rays guys who cares you could put them on pluto and they're going to win

02:36it doesn't matter like they're going to find a way as team you know so that wow and as many are sort of

02:41like building up a wild card lead too you know but but as many problems as the yankees have

02:48i don't think they have enough that they'd completely miss the playoffs like i think that

02:53they have enough and are other teams good enough too they'll beat up they still will beat up on the

03:00on these other teams that they see the al central teams some of the nl teams like they're going to get

03:05their wins they're going to get their 88 to 91 wins just by beating those teams up their problem

03:11is they are awful against the al east toronto tampa even boston and baltimore are not even that good

03:17this year they can't beat teams in their division and that's where the yankees suffer and that's where

03:21they're going to have their problems moving forward toronto actually goes chicago and then to

03:26sacramento to finish the first half they play the games again this weekend so that's six games against

03:32the white sox and a's and they're on an eight game uh eight game winning streak going into it i mean

03:36that's like they could take five out of six of those games if they keep the pedal on the metal

03:42and i'm sure they they're obsessed with it right don't let up we've got one week left here before

03:47the break it could be that classic too if there's one time you would not want to break right now if

03:53there's one team would be the toronto yeah that's the thing i was thinking about that i was like wow

03:59imagine these guys going to break on like a 13 game heater or something and they're off for five

04:04days you know can you believe i saw the brian reynolds story and you tweeted too this guy's

04:09got a no trade list of all the best teams the dodgers the mets the yankees the padres the giants

04:15uh you know you don't want to go to any of the good teams brian reynolds if the pirates were to trade

04:18him i you know so people are trying to figure it out like uh of course it's political he doesn't

04:23want to live in a liberal hell hole other people are saying it's taxes other people are saying he's just a

04:28mediocre loser that doesn't care about winning now now that it's leaked he's gonna get asked about

04:35it mike right so yeah we we have to have an answer i don't know he's probably gonna oh i'm loyal to

04:40pittsburgh and you know i mean that's probably what he'll play but seems pretty crazy hey guys

04:46both new york teams the dodgers the blue jays san francisco san diego the guy clearly doesn't

04:53want to be on a good team
