00:00If Frankie Montas is back for the New York Mets,

00:02so we'll keep an eye on him tonight as they face off with the Kansas City

00:05Royals.

00:06Michael Lorenzen starts for Kansas City on Sunday.

00:09Got Clay Holmes against rookie Noah Cameron.

00:13Mets are also one of those teams,

00:14George,

00:15that got off to such a strong start,

00:17but flustered a little bit the last month or so.

00:20A lot of pitching injuries for the Mets,

00:22right?

00:22They did get Senga back last night.

00:24You know,

00:25pretty much went five innings there.

00:26Pitch well.

00:27They're going to get Minaya back tomorrow.

00:29They've already said they're going to piggyback Minaya after Holmes.

00:33You know,

00:33they're babying Holmes because once again,

00:35he's already pitched more than he ever has in a season.

00:37And we're only in mid July.

00:38We knew this was going to happen.

00:39Now this is what happens when you turn a starter into a pitch or reliever into

00:44a starter.

00:44He's going to go over his innings real quick there.

00:46So they're trying to be careful with him.

00:48Obviously going to need to pick it up for the Mets yet with their starting

00:50rotation being pretty much held together by DuckDame.

00:53Yep.

00:54It looks like that way for the Mets.

00:55All right.

00:55So Rays,

00:56Red Sox,

00:57nice series continues this weekend.

00:58Red Sox with a huge win last night,

01:01Shane Baz against Garrett Crochet today,

01:04followed by Ryan Peppio and Brian Bayo.

01:08So good pitching matchups across the board here,

01:10George,

01:10going into the break.

01:12And at the season ended today,

01:13and wouldn't that suck?

01:14You'd have four teams in the American League East in the playoffs.

01:17You know,

01:17Red Sox are in a playoffs,

01:18but they're actually ahead of Tampa Bay by half the game.

01:20A big win last night,

01:21right?

01:22They get the walk-off win by the home run by Sedan Raffaella off of Peter

01:26Fairbanks.

01:27Great pitching matchup today.

01:28Baz versus Crochet.

01:29We had a lot of really good pitching matchups today.

01:31I expect the Red Sox to continue that winning streak.

01:33All right.

01:33Crochet's been great at home here.

01:35I think he continues it today.

01:37All right.

01:38And the White Sox take on the Guardians here.

01:41And old friend Aaron Savali looks like he's starting for the White Sox on Sunday

01:44against Cleveland against Joey Canteo.

01:47But today it is Tanner Bibby against Sean Burke.

01:52So not must-see TV here,

01:54George,

01:54this weekend.

01:55White Sox,

01:55I mean,

01:55nothing against these teams,

01:56just being honest.

01:58Oh,

01:59they're terrible.

01:59All right.

02:00Come on.

02:00The White,

02:01certainly the White Sox are.

02:02Shock low.

02:03You know what?

02:03I think I've been watching that game a little bit last night.

02:05I can't believe they didn't put that game in a rain delay.

02:07I don't think I've ever seen players so soaking wet on a field,

02:11Craig.

02:11It was like unbelievable.

02:12They didn't delay this game.

02:14And like the eighth night,

02:15they want to get the game in here.

02:16But it was like,

02:17if this would have been Yankees,

02:18Red Sox,

02:18the Dodgers,

02:19Giants,

02:19Cubs,

02:19Cardinals,

02:20that game's in a delay.

02:21They're not doing that.

02:22But it's the Guardians and White Sox.

02:23Eh,

02:23let them play.

02:24No one's watching anyway.

02:27Great matchup this weekend.

02:28The American League West Rangers seem to be sticking in the mix here a little bit.

02:32Jacob DeGrom will start today against Fran Brevaldez.

02:35Doesn't get much better than that.

02:36That's a good one.

02:37Nathan Uvalde against Hunter Brown on Sunday.

02:40So,

02:41I mean,

02:41I feel like I want to keep Texas in this race,

02:43George.

02:44They seem to be playing a little bit better.

02:46They're starting to hit,

02:47right?

02:48Corey Seager starting to hit.

02:49Samian starting to hit here.

02:50So,

02:51they're starting to figure it out a little bit here.

02:53But these pitching matches this weekend,

02:55there's not going to be a lot of runs scored.

02:57The overall total tonight is six and a half at the Grom and Valdez.

03:00My God.

03:02That's such a low total here.

03:04I might have to take the over just on principle there.

03:06But not a lot of runs are going to be scored this entire weekend in Houston for this series here.

03:11As for Texas,

03:12I mean,

03:13wild card,

03:14what are they?

03:15They're three out.

03:16So,

03:16they're fine there.

03:17They're going to catch Houston.

03:18I don't think so for the division there.

03:21They're six out.

03:22But not,

03:22I'm sorry,

03:23they're eight and a half out.

03:24Seattle's six out.

03:25So,

03:25I don't see them catching Houston for the division.

03:27But wild card,

03:27they're certainly in play.

03:29Saturday,

03:30we have a great pitching matchup of Zach Wheeler against Hugh Darvish.

03:34He's making his second start of the season.

03:36Wheeler,

03:36the odds-on favorite for Cy Young.

03:39And then Christopher Sanchez about to take things personally,

03:42not making the all-star game against Nick Pavetta on Sunday.

03:45Boy,

03:45get out of the way of Sanchez,

03:46I think,

03:46Sunday.

03:48Yeah,

03:48I mentioned the Philadelphia Phillies.

03:49They're really unhappy about the Mizorowski thing.

03:51The quotes from them are kind of funny,

03:53actually,

03:53what's going on here.

03:54This entire weekend,

03:55there's not going to be a lot of runs scored in Major League Baseball.

03:57A lot of top pitches are facing each other.

04:00So,

04:00there's going to be a lot of unders this weekend.
