Mets vs. White Sox: NY's Surpise Post-Deadline Turnaround

What do you make of the White Sox? Because I can't trust the Guardians. The White Sox are having a great turnaround season, but Burke has been good. Do we like him against Vinay in the Mets here? Yeah, I don't. You know, they already have more wins this year than they had all of last year. They accomplished that in their 116th game. But they got one hit yesterday by the Braves. You know, the Mets are the goofy Mets that they are, but they're actually playing good ball. You know, they're a good team to bet on because the odds are going to be going against them because they're in last place 15, 14, 15 games under 500. But you know what? They're 18 and 13 since the All-Star break, 11 and 4 since the trade deadline, Joe, when they traded about eight guys, literally. I mean, they got rid of their entire bullpen and everything else, and they played well. Why? How? I don't know how. But you know what? Don't fight it after a while. And they're beating some good teams, took two out of three against San Diego. I mean, so they're not, you know, they're not getting knocked around by, you know, or they're not beating a bunch of lousy teams. They're actually beating good teams. So I think the Mets are plus 130, 135 tonight with Vinay on the hill. You know, he's as good as Burke, both right around 500. I think they're a live dog tonight. I think they're a live dog all series, to tell you the truth. You're liking the Mets to get it done. All right, so what do you do with the Guardians here tonight that are in Colorado? Is this a place they can actually get some reliable offense, Scott? Because this offense of the Guardians drives me absolutely bonkers. Yeah. Second, third fewest runs in baseball, third fewest home runs behind Toronto and Milwaukee. I mean, they just can't hit their way out of a paper bag, right? Four games under 500, season's over, right? No, they're one game out of a wild card spot. They're right there, you know? You know, they win a couple of games against Colorado. Maybe the Mets win one or two against Chicago, and they're back in the division race, only four and a half back. So you got guy Gordon pitching for the Rockies. You know, he was a starter, then he went to the bullpen. I think they're now starting him again. So I don't think it's going to be a bullpen by committee game for Colorado. Cantillo's on the hill for the Guards. So if they don't win tonight, you know, with one of their better pitchers on the hill, then it would be a stay away. But I like them tonight. I think they find a way to get it done, you know? One of those teams that was in a nasty 7-17 slump. I mean, they were in a real major funk, but maybe they're breaking out of it here a little bit. They went two out of three in their last series. I forget who they were playing, but I know they did. So I'll take the Guards tonight on the road.
