00:00We will head to Citi Field tomorrow night, where the Phillies DRS have the pitching advantage.
00:09Aaron Noah gets the start against Shawn Mania, although Mania has been great for New York
00:14down the second half.
00:16The Phillies are a minus-142 favorite now, having tied the series in walk-off fashion
00:22in game number two, although the Mets did win game number one, and the Phillies a slight
00:28road favorite, ever so slightly, for game number three tomorrow afternoon evening hours.
00:34Yeah, it's going to be fun to watch, and I do agree with the Phillies being a minus-142
00:38favorite, Ben, because it is about pitching stats and it's about the totality of the season.
00:42We understand how well the Mets have played down the stretch, and there's a lot to that.
00:45I've watched Phillies baseball, and usually it's them not playing well all season long,
00:49catching fire in August, carrying through to September, and hitting the heck out of
00:52the baseball in the month of October, which the Mets can do.
00:55But theoretically, if you're looking, to be honest, the Phillies have, every time they
00:58take the mound, the Phillies have the better pitcher.
01:00Bullpens, you could say even, but on the totality of the season, the Phillies had a much better
01:04bullpen than the New York Mets, and superstar per superstar in the lineup, it goes to the
01:07Philadelphia Phillies.
01:09So I do agree, even though technically they don't have home field advantage anymore, the
01:13Phillies are the better team and should be priced at that minus-142.
01:16I can agree on that.
