Ben Verlander welcomes Hall of Famer John Smoltz to talk about the tight division race in the NL East, Shohei Ohtani adding a disgusting sinker to his repertoire and a golf story with Greg Maddux & Tom Glavine for the ages! Ben talks about Shohei Ohtani not giving up the AL MVP just yet as Ohtani went deep twice on Monday for his 31st and 32nd home runs of the season. Then, Ben dives into the epic home run races that New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge and St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols find themselves in with under 30 games to go in the season. Finally, Ben talks about the next wave of Houston Astros’ pitching studs in Hunter Brown. The Astros’ top prospect went six innings and struck out five while allowing just three hits in his MLB debut. Fun Fact: Brown’s idol is none other than Astros’ star Justin Verlander!
