00:00All right, D.R.S., a playoff team that we expect to be there.

00:04Who are you looking at to make the postseason in either league?

00:08Yeah, we'll keep it in Texas again.

00:09And this is sort of a double down to starting the season

00:11where the expectations for me, the Rangers possibly could

00:13make it to the World Series.

00:15Boy, they haven't played to their expectations,

00:17but they haven't played bad baseball as of late.

00:19Only one game back of crossing over the 500 mark.

00:23And if they do that and Corey Seager playing better baseball

00:25and them just staying healthy, there's too much talent on that team.

00:28Like Nathan Eovaldi healthy for the second half.

00:30Jacob DeGrom pitching like he always thought he could

00:33as a front-end rotation guy.

00:35What's to say that the Rangers can't make it to the playoffs?

00:38We're not even a minus money price anymore.

00:40You take a look at a plus 330 on the Rangers to make the playoffs.

00:43I'll take a flyer on that.

00:45I love it, D.R.S., and it kind of goes and correlates

00:48with my team to watch, which is Texas as well.

00:51Now, the Rangers have a more difficult schedule

00:54than most coming down the home stretch.

00:56Sixth hardest in all of MLB.

00:59But right now, D.R.S., Texas, where it stands,

01:03they're only three and a half back of a wildcard spot.

01:07And the Rangers are trailing a team in their own division,

01:10the Seattle Mariners, by three and a half games

01:12for that third and final wildcard spot.

01:16There's only one team sandwiched in between Texas and Seattle

01:19as well with that three and a half game difference,

01:22and it is the Tampa Bay Rays.

01:24D.R.S., my playoff team is the San Diego Padres.

01:27Right now, that third wildcard team,

01:29a half game in front of their divisional mates

01:31in the San Francisco Giants.

01:33And for all the reasons you think the Padres can win a World Series

01:37are all the reasons I think San Diego will solidify that spot

01:41as a wildcard team in the second easiest schedule

01:44in the National League post-All-Star break.

01:47D.R.S., your team to watch is who?

01:50It's going to be the Rays.

01:51You just can't quit this team, Ben.

01:53We don't even know their household names at this point.

01:55Multiple All-Stars, though, looking to step up on the biggest stage,

01:57playing in a nice environment that you bet them on team totals.

02:00You bet the game total to the over, hitting props on the Rays.

02:03That's a team I want to watch because, number one,

02:05they're fun to bet on.

02:06They play in a great atmosphere.

02:08And number two, I think there's a legitimate chance

02:10they have a chance and a path to make it to the playoffs,

02:1250-47 in the season.

02:14Give me a good second half here, Tampa.

02:16I'll be watching.
