This is Double Play, a baseball podcast.

Here's Dustin Swidelson and Adam Burke.

That's right. We're back at it again.

This is Double Play, a baseball podcast alongside Adam Burke.

I'm Dustin Swietelson, and we've got you scattered, covered, and smothered here around the world of baseball, where there's a lot going on as we approach those

dog days of summer. I think this season is starting to get some drama. We're starting to

have some fun. And a theme on this pod has always been that that National League wildcard

race is going to be fascinating. We have more on that

as we get through today's episode. I want to talk to Berkey about a few things about the

unwritten rules of baseball being exposed once again. Some bats coming alive in the National

League and the AL rookie of the year race has gotten really interesting over the last

14 days. We'll touch on all of that and more, but first we'll say what's up to Berkey as,

for those that don't know, and I'm going to assume you're all football fans, because most people

are. But at our main job over at Veson, the sports betting network,

Adam Burke is our managing editor.

And what he has had to do for the last, I don't know,

couple weeks now here is compile what we do this time of year for the last couple

years, put out our Veson NFL pro betting guide. That's right, before July even hits.

And Burkey, he's in charge of all of it. And I just got to say, man, I'm so impressed that you,

one, came up with this idea a year ago, but two, the amount of work that goes into making this

thing happen. You ask for all the donks like me and other people to send you some stuff, but then you have to turn it into something to make it this big picture preview before we even have training camp.

I got to say, man, I'm impressed that you came up with the idea.
