Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are. College football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and Alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano-hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of, so it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine-free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.

Live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the sports betting network.

**Tim Murray** (1:35)
Five-four game at Wrigley Field, Matt, alongside Matt Youmans. I'm Tim Murray. It is VSiN Prime Time. Live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on this Tuesday night. Philadelphia, Philly's good start against the Arizona, the New York City, the New York City, the New York City, Philadelphia, Philly's good start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Couple of runs in the top of the first off Eduardo Rodriguez. So the Phillies off to a strong start there. Trey Turner with a RBI double off the wall in center field in that first inning. The Cubs did add a run to cut into their deficit. Matt, this has been a fun game to watch. Cubs got off to a strong start, three runs in the fourth, but the Brewers, four runs in the sixth. Right now, top of the seventh inning, five-four lead for the Milwaukee Brewers as we have gone to the bull pens for both of these squads. Matthew Boyd, five in a third, he allowed three runs on seven hits, and Robert Gasser, last to just four in a third, three runs on four hits. We will see if the Brewers can hold on as short road dogs here tonight against the Chicago Cubs. If you are looking to back the Cubs live right now, Matt, the Cubs plus 156, so a team that has been a bit of a cardiac type of squad.
They do have a man on second, the Brewers do here in this seventh, but plus 156 if you're looking to back the Chicago Cubs right now from a live standpoint.

**Matt Youmans** (2:52)
Doesn't seem like it would be a bad bet, does it?

**Tim Murray** (2:54)
It does not.

**Matt Youmans** (2:55)
Brewers have a runner on second. That was a pop out in the infield, now in the two outs. And it looks like Will Contreras is going to be at the plate here batting 272
Hopefully he can come through with a big hit for the Brewers if you bet that side, five to four, top of the seventh at Wrigley Field. Our game of the night for the second night in a row, Tim, a much more competitive game tonight. Contreras with a drive to the gap off the wall. Brewers going to take a six to four lead.

**Tim Murray** (3:22)
Nice. Ooh, just slides in there safely. Wilson Contreras.

**Matt Youmans** (3:26)
Just missed to Homer.

**Tim Murray** (3:27)
Yeah, off the wall in right center field. Heck of a swing there from Contreras. Actually, that's not Wilson. Wilson, that's Wilson's brother. That's William Contreras, I beg your pardon, there in Milwaukee. Wilson in Boston. Still to come, Matt.
Dodgers Cardinals. Eric Lauer on the hill for the Dodgers here at Circa, minus $1.88 for the Dodgers against the Cardinals. McGreevey will get the start for the St. Louis Cardinals.

**Matt Youmans** (3:56)
If I'm going to lay a buck 88, it's going to be with a better pitcher than Eric Lauer. And the way the Dodgers have been slumping offensively, I don't think it's a great idea to bet that tonight.

**Tim Murray** (4:07)
All right. Matt, as we, by the way, it's 12-12 in extra innings.
Pirates and Giants, this game is crazy. Oh no, it's still the ninth? I thought we were in extra innings.

**Matt Youmans** (4:18)
No, it's still the ninth.

**Tim Murray** (4:20)
This game is going to go on the whole evening. Started before our show started.

**Matt Youmans** (4:24)
It is crazy to think about this. When the season started, Paul Skeens and Logan Webb were two of the top guys on the betting board for the National League, Cy Young. These guys have squared off tonight in Pittsburgh, but we do not have a pitchers duel. We got a 12-12 game, top of the ninth, and Paul Skeens is not going to get the win, obviously. Yankees have jumped all over the Angels.
