00:00Giants and the Blue Jays in Toronto. Justin Verlander and the Basset Hound

00:06tonight. Minus 150 for the Jays plus 125 for the Giants in an eight and a half.

00:11Yeah, I got the Jays at minus about 45. So I like the Basset Hound here. I didn't like the

00:17way the Giants were playing at the end of the first half at all. They were getting their ass

00:21beat. The Dodgers beat them. They just weren't playing good baseball at all.

00:25The Yankees. Well, the guys who are in the all-star game at least got to stay in Atlanta

00:32because they'll be in Atlanta this weekend. Spencer Strider for the Braves. The Yankees

00:37will run a full bullpen game tonight with Ian Hamilton being the first one who's going to

00:43get the ball. Braves are favored here. Minus 135. Yankees plus a buck 15 and an eight and

00:49a half. All right. So I originally I thought they were going to go with free chicken. That's

00:55what I was seeing. And it was minus one. He's not ready. I bet the Yankees at minus a buck

01:0010 this morning. I couldn't believe the price. So then I get the surprise that Hamilton, they

01:07might as well have Josh Hamilton pitching. But look, I still like the Yankees. Spencer Strider,

01:15something's wrong with him. He's not the same guy that we saw dominate baseball. This guy

01:21gets lit up. He gives up runs. His ERA has been sky high. His record is terrible. And you're giving

01:30me plus money with the Yankee bats. I think they get to him tonight. I don't care who's

01:35pitching for the Yankees. Plus 117 Yankees. Yeah. The Yankees are not listing freed for any

01:41of the games this weekend in Atlanta. It will be Will Warren tomorrow and Marcus Stroman

01:48on Sunday. I mean, why wouldn't they start that kid tonight? Schlittler. Why not have

01:53him pitch? He hasn't pitched in a week. Why can't you throw him in Atlanta tonight?

01:57Trading him to the Pirates for Alan Keller. That could be it.
