All our bets for tonight coming up in 20 minutes to close the show, and we will give you more thoughts, which we did earlier, on the Hall of Fame game and how we are betting the Lions and the Chargers. But Major League Baseball Trade Deadline has come and gone.

Femia Bebifay, first word to you.

What is the most impactful thing that has happened either by today at the trade deadline or of the last couple days? Yeah, I'm trying not to be a homer, but I really do think this Eohenio Suarez trade with the Seattle Mariners is very, very impactful. Like it bolsters, a lineup that was already really strong, like the Mariners' bats are ready to win a world series. The upside here for

1:11.6

the mayors is can the pitching catch up? And the pitching has been historically really good.

1:15.8

It just has not been there this year due to all the injuries and guys that are just like not

1:19.7

kind of like in their groove. But if they can get hot in August and September, I actually think

1:24.1

this team is really, really dangerous. I bet some Mariners 10 to 1 last night after the trade was made to go ahead and win the American League. I don't think they can win the World Series, but they feel like a nice front runner-up, I should say, in the World Series. So I bet some Mariners 10 to 1. If you can find close to double digits, I still think it's worth something. 6 to 1, 7-1, you're probably just flipping coins at that point. But if you can find close to double digits, I think there's some nine to one out there in some sports books. I think the Mariners are a bet to win the AL. Jake, the Snake Asana is with us. Jake, the most impactful thing at the deadline is what and why? I think it's the Mets building a Super Bowl pen, a la la 2015 Royals. Like they have all of these guys who will give you five, maybe six innings if you're lucky, and they're fine. But once you get to that seventh inning, it's over. If you're losing, it's just done. Here's Tyler Rogers, Ryan Helsley, and Edwin Diaz back to back to back to back and they just choke the life out of you. I think it's a really smart strategy. It's all guys that have experience closing and we know what the Mets lineup can do. Now they have the swing and miss pitching that can back it up. All right. So Femi with the Mariners. Jake with the Mets. Tyler Morales, what say you? I also agree it's the Mets. And we said this last year

2:35.2

with their starting pitching. Like it wasn't great. It's virtually the same guys. And they were,

2:38.5

they were amazing last year. Now, they only need them to go like five, six innings. And I also

2:42.0

had Cedric Mullen. They basically just replaced Tyrone Taylor, who's been, who actually

2:45.1

been pretty good this season. I think the Mets did a great job. Their bullpen's awesome. I like them to win the NL. So I thought the

2:51.0

Mets stood out to me a ton. I also agree with family with the Mariners as well. And the Padres obviously made the splash movie with Mason Miller. But I feel like they just do the same thing every year. They just reshuffle at the deadline and nothing really happens or comes with it. And they just lose these prospects who end up being superstar somewhere else. So like it's going get all the names it's gonna be all the attention with mason miller but i'll take i'll take the
