The P.B.P. Voices of Baseball is a podcast about the art and craft of play by play and we're in the middle of an amazing season.

Catch up on episodes with Joe Buck, Joe Davis, Pat Hughes, and more, and learn along with me Matt Spiegel how the job is done.

It's not just home run Bryce Harper and the Philly's League to really do it justice.

You got to widen the lens. What does this home run mean?

The P.B.P. Voices of Baseball. I bring you the people who bring you the game, listen on the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And I'm not telling you that I confidently think the Celtics are going to clear this game by 11 points.

So what I have here is a compromise, right?

I think it's easier to root for a team.

Sometimes we bet totals. I think that's easy enough.

You know what you're rooting for offense or defense.

But I want to offer something just a little deeper, a little beneath the surface here.

I want to offer you Boston Celtics first half spread Boston minus five and a half.
