00:00
let's start off with the matchup of the night without a doubt it's you know arguably the
00:04
Cy Young Award winner I mean I feel like he's getting close to like wrapping this thing up
00:09
which is nuts in July but Tariq Skubal will pitch tonight against the Mariners and generally
00:14
what you see when he does are low totals and almost minus 200 across the board doesn't matter
00:19
who he faces that's the case tonight although Luis Castillo is a pretty good pitcher for Seattle
00:23
Seattle has good pitching minus 225 tonight with Skubal laying a run and a half with a
00:29
home team is a little bit difficult sometimes again they don't get their full complement of
00:33
nine innings if they're up do you make anything of tonight's game any opinion it is this I you know
00:39
going into today I thought this was gonna be a super fun game just to break down but after what
00:45
the Mariners went through last night I think this game is far more interesting when Skubal's on the
00:48
mound we're never getting an easy number to bet right Rose me it's super heavy lines I think
00:53
there's a realistic scenario where we see the Tigers win the first five but the Mariners come
00:58
through in the full game now I'm not saying I love those odds because it's minus 290 for just
01:03
the first five obviously we'd be getting the Skubal sample at least at that point and then bringing
01:07
in the Tigers bullpen which had a little bit of struggles especially over the past week and again
01:11
buying into at least some of the narrative of the Mariners collapse of last night maybe they
01:15
struggle to score early no surprise against school but then they you know scratch across a few
01:19
runs later in the game so it's a it's like a little bit of a skill shot to say oh they lose the
01:24
first five at the end of winning the full game but I could see that happening and frankly if we
01:29
see the Mariners come away with a loss tonight I'll frankly be backing them tomorrow at probably a
01:33
pretty solid plus money place price as well the Mariners meanwhile it's sort of been odd for them
01:39
with their pitching against Pittsburgh no run all fits four walks against the Yankees they got blown up
01:44
here a little bit but you know overall I would say that you know even with some of the struggles
01:49
of a couple of their pitchers and injuries this season that's been a story for them you feel like
01:54
Seattle is the upper echelon of starting pitching moving forward I do you know I I always like to
02:00
phrase things I'm like you know is this a bad game or a bad series or is this a sign of bad things to
02:04
come I would say this was a bad series like I I'm fully confident in the Mariners pitching staff
02:09
overall Wu Kirby Gilbert like that trio I think is absolutely awesome I think this was a bad series
02:15
it just was I do not think this is a sign of bad things to come I think they'll be fine
02:19
all right let's uh talk Tigers baseball here a little bit their win total keeps climbing and
02:24
climbing I know they're going to fly above what they was before the season but it's up to 98 and
02:28
a half now and they're the favorites the American League and among the favorites to win the World
02:33
Series but you know this is a really tricky time to look at anything honestly I mean Tom we are just
02:39
weeks away from finding out which teams take that next step I mean through the years the Dodgers have
02:44
been just so aggressive by getting Machado and Trey Turner and you know Scherzer through the years
02:49
and I and I kind of feel like they're going to do that again but why wouldn't the Tigers make that
02:53
next step too I could see them making a monster move yeah I think this is the time for them to
02:57
be aggressive I actually don't mind that win total over 98 and a half you know a part of me you know
03:02
I'm looking at the Guardians if they continue to struggle is there a need for them to push to get
03:07
Shane Bieber back in the rotation right so if they don't bring him back they don't force him you know
03:11
get him back early does that add up an extra few losses here or there just puts the Tigers in that
03:15
much better of a spot to pick up a few more wins so when it comes to the Tigers World Series price
03:20
and or you want them to win the ALCS I actually like looking at direct outcomes so if you think
03:25
you know the Blue Jays continue this hot start it could be Tigers to beat the Blue Jays Tigers to
03:30
beat the Yankees whatever it might be or Tigers to beat the Dodgers in the World Series you're getting
03:34
a better price yeah we do need that direct outcome to happen but I don't want to be going to such a
03:38
short price I'd rather take a little bit of a longer shot and find my way to potentially hedge out
03:42
what's the playoff start
