Hei, mä liisaan meille Aivensiltä käytetyn auton suoraan verkosta. Aivensiltä, eli siis vaihtoleasing-auto. Joo, Aivensillä on niitä kuntotarkastettuja ja vähän ajettuja. Aivensillä. Ja joo, liisaamalla ei tarvi stressata auton arvon alenemisesta. Ei niin, ja Aivensillä kaikki auton ylläpito kuuluu samaan kiinteään kuukausimaksuun. Aivensillä. Niin just, Aivens vaihtoleasing. Ah, se on Aiv... Eiku, joo, just noin. Mutkattomia leasing-kilometrejä. Autokauppa.avens.com. Aivens. Better with every move. I've been thinking about fish luck. What about it? How you're so good at catching fish. Even though we have the same gear and the same rules, and the boat is going in the same direction, as long as the fish don't bite me.
Or the other way around. How do you know who's the other way around? Am I so obvious? Don't think too much. Easier said than done. Motonet.
Should we sing again? Let's sing again. This hour is brought to you by Menards.
Saving money at Menards.
Menards. It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. I got five on it.
Number one. The MLB season resumes today. The Cubs have 66 games left and the White Sox have 67 games left. What will their respective records be for those final games on the regular season schedule?
Okay, so here's my issue is we did the math earlier on the show, right?
We did do the math.
We essentially did the math earlier on the show. So I'm trying to get to 90 games for the Cubs and 85 for the Sox.
You want me to help you with that math again?
Yeah, because I didn't write it down. I should have and I'm mad at myself.
You need the Cubs to go 36 and 30. Got that?
36 and 30. Seems reasonable.
You need the Cubs to go 36 and 30. Meanwhile, you need the White Sox to go 35 and 22. Do I have that right?
That seems a little less reasonable. Really? Yeah. Really? I mean, like, when you put it like that, yes, I'm writing this down.
Oh, they're missing 10 games. Oh, 35 and 32. My bad.
Okay, that sounds reasonable again. All right, I'm good with it. So, yes, that's what I need to know.
So, wait, wait, I want to make sure I got this right. You think the White Sox are going to go three games over 500 the rest of the way while the Cubs go six games over 500 the rest of the way?
That's pretty good. I mean, that's kind of where they're at right now.
Let's broaden the question a little bit. Do you think the White Sox... Sorry. Do you think the Cubs are better than the White Sox right now?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. All right. That clears that up. I don't think the Cubs are better than the White Sox right now.
Okay. So what's your math? Since you just did mine.
Marshall Mathers. Well, if I just let you do it, we would be here for a minute, right?
Well, I just forgot what I was saying about, like, I forgot I had done the math based on the remaining games on the schedule.
Big picture, Layla now believes the Cubs will end up with 90 wins and the White Sox will end up with 85 wins. Meanwhile, I believe both teams will end up with 91 wins.
But I'm the one who needs help?
No, I think the White Sox will have a better record than the Cubs the rest of the way because I think the White Sox are a better baseball team. They have a better rotation.
How many games do the Cubs and White Sox have left after the All‑Star break?
They have a better lineup. They have a better bullpen. They don't have a better defense. Got that?
Yeah, that part is true. But the starting rotation also needs help.
Yes, the White Sox rotation is a lot better than the Cubs rotation right now.
Both need help, though.
Both do need help. I'm not arguing that. The White Sox have a deeper lineup, and they don't require one person to go off to score a bunch of runs.
Where are we getting the puppies for William Shatner is the real question.
So to answer the question that's been presented, I believe 31 wins.
What record projections do hosts give for the Cubs and White Sox for the remaining season?
Excuse me. I'm sorry. 41 wins. I left the 10 games out again.
Is this like when you pick the Bulls to win 45 games? Do you remember that?
I don't think it was 45 games. I think it was. I picked him to have a winning record.
I think you picked him.
Was it 45? Okay. 45 before everybody got hurt.
