00:00903-904. Let's get started. Milwaukee, fresh off of the victory last night for the Brewers,

00:048-4 over the Cubs. Colin Wright on the mound today to take a look at Quentin Priester on

00:08the opposite side. Two right-handed pitchers, a 740 start tonight. The total of this game

00:12opened up at 9 overnight, Joe. We're down to 8.5. The side, a minus 130 price that opened in the

00:17favor of Milwaukee, is down a little bit. Looking more of that 115-105 split as you see the graphic

00:23there, 116-102. I got to tell you, if you look at the starting pitchers here, Joe,

00:28number three on my analytics card today over the past, what, 45 or so 40 innings

00:32is Quentin Priester, a 270 ERA, a 2.81 XFIP number. You take a look at Colin Ray,

00:38his last 40 innings pitched, 4.28 ERA, 4.82 XFIP number. You might not have heard a lot about

00:44Quentin Priester, but this is really the charm of the Milwaukee Brewers. Guys you haven't heard of,

00:48having really good seasons, and I got to tell you, I do like Milwaukee again today, Joe.

00:53Yeah, I do, and I like the over, Donnie, because I don't trust Colin Ray and way that Milwaukee is

01:01swinging the bats, and obviously, if you can drop three home runs last night against your best

01:06pitcher, what are they going to do to Colin Ray here today? I think that number is a little low

01:11at 8.5, and both bullpens should be in pretty good shape, although I believe McGill ended up getting

01:17the save last night for Milwaukee, but it was a four-run win, so I still think runs are coming.

01:24I'm with you on Milwaukee. I like the over, 8.5.
