00:00Let's focus on the Cubs here coming into it because they are
00:02the favorites here Tom at a plus 100 price.
00:05I don't look at that lineup and get so excited here.
00:07You lose Bellinger, but of course, you're getting Kyle
00:09Tucker in the lineup, which I do think is a better move.
00:1123 home runs last year and a 289.
00:13It's a solid lineup all the way through and also understand
00:16this like we're doing a preseason.
00:18Look at the 0-2 Chicago Cubs, but a lot of teams are going
00:21to lose at least two out of three games or two game series
00:24against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
00:26The pitching staff, Ivanaga, Steele, Tyone, Boyd, and Ray.
00:29You look at it, not bad numbers last year, 291 ERA, a couple
00:33of threes and a couple of twos there.
00:34They can hold up.
00:35It's always tough in the friendly confines, but it is
00:37a solid team overall for the Cubs, but I agree.
00:40I look at the lineup and outside of maybe a couple fly balls
00:43or a couple long balls.
00:44It's not my day-to-day first pick to say, hey Donny, who's
00:48in that Cubs lineup today?
00:50Yeah, I think Matt Shaw, one of their upcoming prospects,
00:53maybe the most interesting, Pete Crow Armstrong, one of
00:55their young players as well.
00:56Like that's where we're going to get excitement because
00:58if those players develop and we already have Happ and Tucker
01:02and you know, Swanson and Suzuki, like now we can start
01:04to put together an offense that like is going to be threatening
01:07on a day-to-day basis.
01:08Obviously, Ivanaga and Steele are two phenomenal pitchers.
01:11So that's where we can be looking from in terms of strikeout
01:13props, especially when it's cold at the beginning of the
01:15season in Chicago.
01:16We got the wind blowing in at Wrigley.
01:18We're going to see some understate so we can look for some
01:20value at times for the Cubs, but they're young players stepping
01:23up. That's what I think is going to help shape their season.
