Alright, let’s talk about this Marlins and Dodgers game, ya know? Folks keep askin’ me, who’s gonna win? Well, shoot, if I knew that for sure, I’d be sittin’ pretty on a pile of cash, wouldn’t I?
Dodgers and Marlins, huh? Sounds like a fancy city game to me. Don’t know much about them fellas, but I hear tell they got some good players. This here game, they say it’s startin’ at 6:40, eastern time. That’s right around suppertime, ain’t it? Means I gotta get my chores done quick so I can catch some of it on the radio, maybe.

Now, some folks, they’re puttin’ down bets, you know? Gamblin’ on who’s gonna win. They got these things called “odds” and “predictions” and all that fancy talk. I don’t understand half of it, to be honest. But I reckon it means someone’s guessin’ who’s gonna be the best. They talk about “best bets” and “same-game parlays.” Sounds like a whole lot of mumbo jumbo to me, but I guess it makes sense to them city folk.
They got this fella, Bobby Miller, pitchin’ for the Dodgers. Apparently, he’s got a “2-4” record or somethin’. Don’t know what that means, but I hope he’s good. You know pitching is the key thing in these ball games. If you can’t throw the ball good, you ain’t gonna win nothing. A good pitcher can make all the difference. Just like when I try to toss that feed to the chickens. Gotta have a good arm, you know?
Miami Marlins versus Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s what they’re callin’ it. Fancy names, both of ‘em. Sounds like a big deal, though. People are gettin’ all worked up about it. They say it’s a “matchup” on September 18th. Guess that’s when they’re gonna play. They also talk about “over/under” and “game spread.” Land sakes, what does all that even mean? It’s just a ball game, ain’t it? Someone wins, someone loses. That’s how it always goes.
You can find all this bettin’ stuff on somethin’ called “FanDuel Sportsbook.” Sounds like a place where folks go to lose their money, if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, I always say. I’ll stick to bettin’ on whether the rooster crows before sunrise, easier to keep track of that way. Plus, I get to eat the chicken if I win.
I heard tell they got all kinds of bets, too. Not just who wins, but how many runs they score and all that. They call ’em “prop bets.” Sounds complicated. I’m just hopin’ for a good, clean game. Don’t want to see nobody gettin’ hurt. And maybe, just maybe, the Marlins will surprise them Dodgers. Underdogs can win too, you know. Just like that little banty rooster I got. Nobody thought he’d last, but he’s still kickin’, that one.
So, who’s gonna win? Like I said, I ain’t no fortune teller. But I’ll be rootin’ for… well, I guess I’ll root for whoever’s playin’ the best. That’s fair, ain’t it? May the best team win, and may nobody get hurt. And hopefully, the radio will be workin’ good so I can hear all the action. It’s always nice to have a little excitement in the evenin’, especially when the days are gettin’ shorter.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll try to figure out what a “same-game parlay” is. But don’t hold your breath. Some things are just too fancy for this old gal.
At the end of the day, it’s just a game, right? Folks get too worked up about these things. Win or lose, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and the chickens will still need feedin’. That’s the way I see it, anyhow.
