00:009.53, 9.54 on the rotation.

00:017.40 tonight.

00:02So you guys got some time, though, afternoon action today.

00:05Boyd versus Misarowski.

00:06I'm going to get to those statistics in just a moment.

00:08But this line opened up overnight most outlets at 8.5.

00:11That's now down to an 8 this morning.

00:12So it takes nine runs to win it.

00:14Eight gets you a push.

00:14And if you like the under, you better get it at 7 or less there for that victory.

00:18The side itself opened up overnight roughly a pick-em.

00:20It still sits really a pick-em as you see that graphic right now.

00:23But take a look at this.

00:24Like, Misarowski's got 29 in the third innings pitched over the past 60 days.

00:28New call up to Major League Baseball.

00:29Very good ERA, 2.45.

00:31And that XFIP, also fantastic at 2.81 because he strikes out a lot of guys.

00:36But I got to tell you, Matthew Boyd, 63 and a third innings pitched, Joe,

00:41over the past 60 days.

00:42A 1.14 ERA.

00:45A 361 XFIP number.

00:47It's a little bit higher because the strikeout difference is there.

00:49Maybe a little bit, two more walks.

00:50But sometimes you look at Matthew Boyd.

00:51It's like, oh, he's just your everyday pitcher.

00:53He's got a 1 ERA over his last 60 innings, Joe.

00:56How are we getting to nine runs in this game tonight?

00:58Well, and he's running something crazy.

01:02He's gone 23 consecutive scoreless innings that he has pitched.

01:07That is the longest active streak in Major League Baseball here.

01:12Unbelievable.

01:13So, I watched that game in which he went seven and shut out the Kansas City Royals last week.

01:19I think it was Tuesday, in fact.

01:20So, yeah, I mean, the guy has been on fire.

01:24But this is kind of an outlier season for Boyd.

01:27He's got all the things working for him right now.

01:30And great.

01:31You know, sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good.

01:34Is it luck for Boyd?

01:35Is he in the right place at the right time?

01:38I still think, pound for pound, Milwaukee is the better team.

01:42And they got a pretty good pitcher on the mound tonight, too, going up against them.
