00:00But Phillies and Mets, Matt, it feels like battling it to the end.

00:02The Marlins have been a big surprise.

00:04You know, I don't know that they're going to win the division,

00:06but they've been better than Washington and Atlanta.

00:08So give them credit for that.

00:10Yeah, absolutely.

00:11I think the Braves, it's just too many injuries, basically what you alluded to.

00:14It's just tough when you lose the pitchers they've lost throughout the year,

00:17as well as some of the other issues they've had.

00:20But yeah, Phillies and Mets, that looks like it's going to be a fun one

00:22all the way down the stretch.

00:23I could see us going into the final, you know, weekend of the season,

00:26scoreboard watching there between those two teams.

00:29They're both ultra-talented.

00:30They got great pitching.

00:32They obviously got some big-time hitters.

00:34So I don't expect either of those teams to go away.

00:36I think they're both the types of teams that will make moves at the deadlines,

00:40try to fill in the gaps of what's needed.

00:42I think that one's just going to go back and forth the rest of the summer

00:45and into the fall, and I'm looking forward to it.

00:47I've always kind of thought the Phillies were the little bit of a better team.

00:50So even when the Mets got off to the really hot start, I was like,

00:53don't worry, Phillies are going to come around and they'll be there.

00:56And they are right now, but I certainly wouldn't feel confident enough

01:01to put a lot of money on them because the Mets have the talent

01:04and have certainly shown that, and Soto's heated up,

01:07and he's getting going, and what he could do in the second half

01:09could be enough to help carry that Mets offense that really needs him.

01:12So that's going to be an incredibly fun race down the stretch.
