00:03 - Donnie, can the Blue Jays finally win a game
00:05 against the Yankees team that was eliminated
00:06 from the postseason over the weekend?
00:09 - Yeah, they batter tonight, but also take a look.
00:10 I expected the Yankees to have
00:11 a pretty good performance yesterday.
00:13 That was a clean sweep across the board
00:14 through all nine innings.
00:15 Great pitching and also great hitting there.
00:18 And of course you saw Aaron Judge go yard yesterday.
00:20 Things should change today.
00:21 Luke Weaver's gonna be on the mound here for the Yankees.
00:23 Not a very good pitcher overall, but having said that,
00:26 he's not that bad.
00:27 A 192 iso power number, which is slightly elevated.
00:30 Same thing with the 349 weighted on base percentage.
00:33 That's who was last 85 batters.
00:35 But when you look at the breakdown,
00:36 right-handed batters, Ben, a 158 iso against him,
00:39 which that's pretty good for a pitcher,
00:40 and a 316 weighted on base percentage.
00:42 That also very good for a pitcher.
00:44 He does struggle with left-handed batters,
00:46 but you're not gonna get a ton of lefties
00:47 in the lineup tonight.
00:48 Maybe as many as four.
00:50 That would be Belt, Biggio, Varsho, and Kiermaier.
00:53 So not guys that are certainly the springers
00:55 and the Bichettes and the Guerreros
00:56 that you would look to have those advantageous matchups here.
00:59 But if we do flip it over to a Yankees perspective,
01:01 let's see what lineup we get.
01:02 Also keep in mind, when you're out of the playoffs,
01:05 what do you wanna do against a division rival?
01:08 Knock them out of the playoffs.
01:09 Like, the Yankees still got a little bit of juice here.
01:11 Probably having fun with the fact is
01:12 they can knock Toronto out altogether.
01:14 Varsho's the better pitcher on the mound
01:16 overall tonight, though.
01:17 A 118 iso and a 276 weighted on base percentage
01:21 over his last 135 batters.
01:23 They should win tonight.
01:24 I didn't think they would win last night,
01:25 talking about the Blue Jays,
01:26 but today should be their day.
01:28 They should be able to get the Weaver and Bass.
01:29 It should be solid on the mound.
01:31 If not, my goodness, the gloves are off.
01:33 - Donnie, the Blue Jays.
