00:00which then brings up the AL pennant odds right now.

00:02We talk about the Dodgers in the NL at a plus 120 price.

00:05Like, ooh, that's really low at this point.

00:07You don't have it quite that low, but also still,

00:10the Detroit Tigers, Joe Ranieri, sit in the lead at a plus 330 price,

00:13followed by the Astros and the Yankees, each one of those teams,

00:16anywhere between plus 330 to plus 390.

00:18Do you agree with the odds makers that the Detroit Tigers right now

00:22should be in that lead spot?

00:24No, that's hilarious.

00:25Absolutely not.

00:26That's worse than the Dodgers being at plus 120.

00:30Here, absolutely not here.

00:33Again, you've got one guy that we would look at and be like,

00:37yep, they'll win the first game of that,

00:40but they're not winning anything else here.

00:42Don't like the Tigers as the favorite.

00:45I think the Astros, Yankees, Blue Jays, Mariners,

00:50I think that's where your American League tenant is going to come from.

00:55Could we get hot later on down here, Joe?

00:57Could we get hot with a 15-1 price on the Boston Red Sox?

01:00The Rangers at 17-1?

01:01Heck, even those Rays, you know the Rays are due for a comeback at some point in the season.

01:05Like, man, the Rays are still hanging around.

01:07They're two games back.

01:08Is there a team lower down that odds leaderboard that you say,

01:12well, if I had to take a chance on, this might be one of the teams I'd take a chance on?

01:16Yeah, well, I mean, I think the Rays are interesting here

01:20because I think they have better pitching than the Red Sox.

01:24And I think depending on whether they're buyers or sellers coming up,

01:28McClanahan, I think, is on his way back.

01:30So I think the Rays are fascinating at a 21-2.

01:34Don't forget, it wasn't, what, a month ago that we were talking about them

01:38having to find a new ballpark for the postseason?

01:40Yep.

01:41I don't know how much has changed here.

01:43Yeah, by the way, why do they have to find a new ballpark for the postseason?

01:46Like, where would they even go?

01:48Miami?

01:49They play their home games in?

01:50Just wow.

01:51This team is on sale right now, trying to make deals at the deadline,

01:54trying to find a ballpark, and let's still try to mix in a playoff run at this point.

01:58Wouldn't it be so baseball god crazy when the Tampa Bay Rays actually make a run

02:03and win the World Series as like a nomad franchise at this point?

02:06Crazier things certainly have happened.
