00:00By the way, how about this series here, which I don't know how many people are paying attention
00:02to because coming into the season, no high expectations were required.
00:06That's the Angels and the Cardinals.
00:07And after the 5-4 victory in 10 innings yesterday for the Angels, the Angels are 3-1, and the
00:12Cardinals picked to be dead last in the Central, at least to the odds market.
00:16They're 3-1 as well.
00:17I had a Soler and a Trout player prop parlay, which cashed late in that game, so I was very
00:22happy to see that.
00:23But how about that?
00:24The Angels and the Cards, 3-1 apiece?
00:27Well, in fairness, I mean, the Angels played the White Sox, and the Cardinals played a
00:32not very good Twins team, so I don't know how quick I'm willing to celebrate these teams
00:37getting off to a hot start.
00:38So there is that, but nonetheless, you take the wins where you can get them this early
00:42in the year.
00:43By the way, you look at Mike Trout, too, last night.
00:45He did have a—this is the perfect night where I always preach about RBI props, plus
00:48money.
00:49I absolutely love those.
00:50Trout goes 0-3, but still gets two RBI in that game last night.
00:54Now, Mike Trout, as I talked about opening up the season, I believe he was 16-1 to win
00:58the AL MVP.
00:59I thought it was a better bet to take him like a comeback player of the year, which
01:01I thought was a ridiculous price on 16-1.
01:04Trouty opens up the season, which usually is hot, then gets injured, Mark.
01:080-77 on the season so far as opening there in the middle of that lineup for Trouty.
01:13Yeah, I mean, again, it's sad to say that we may be seeing the decline of what was the
01:20best player in a generation for probably about five to seven years, right?
01:24Like, I mean, there's just—there's no getting around how good Mike Trout was.
01:28He drew every comparison to Mickey Mantle and every other, you know, guy who set the
01:32record books on fire from days of baseball lore, and he just has not been a healthy guy
01:37over the past five years of his career, and it's kind of sad to see.
01:41It's one of those things you start to wonder, what if he could have stayed healthy?
01:44What was the ceiling for him?
01:46What was the height that he could have reached?
