00:00The Phillies a minus 154 favorite, total eight and a half to pull off the sweep against the

00:06Sox. What do we see today in Philadelphia? The Phillies are a favorite and probably should be,

00:11right? Looking to pull off the sweep, things are looking good. But Lizardo on the mound,

00:15like analytics really likes him, Ben. Last 60 days, a 3.24 XFIP number, which is great.

00:20But how about that ERA, 7.16? That's over his last 49 innings pitched. That's not good. You saw

00:25yesterday, a team that typically hits left-handed pitching really well in the Red Sox, they didn't

00:29do anything. Sanchez wasn't going to be touched by any batter yesterday. He was phenomenal. His

00:33stuff was certainly on point. We look at the lineup today, Roman Anthony, Alex Bregman,

00:37Romy Gonzalez, you know, Raffaella, also Narvaez, all with really good weighted on base percentages

00:42against. It's just a trust, like 80 degree temperatures, wind blowing out close to

00:46double digits. I just think the bats will wake up. Am I saying the Phillies can't win and this game's

00:50going to go over? Sort of a correlation in that, but you can get a cheap number right now, Ben,

00:55if you look around. Three and a halves, minus 130s, minus 135s for a team total for the Boston

01:00Red Sox. You know I'm a Phillies fan. I work for the Phillies. I hope they do get shut down,

01:03but from a betting perspective, I think the Red Sox can get the four runs off of Lizardo because

01:07everybody has been getting into four runs off of Jesus Lizardo. I'll go with the Red Sox. Let's

01:12leave the game side out of it, the total itself. Just give me the team total of the Boston Red Sox

01:16to get four. I think they can do that tonight.
