00:00 Here DRS, let's transition back to Major League Baseball to go
00:04 through our eight game Thursday slate. We've got a couple more
00:08 to preview including the rubber match in Wrigley between the
00:11 Cubs and the Braves. Chicago won game number one. Atlanta of
00:16 course with a nine run performance yesterday winning
00:19 nine to two. The Braves have been favored in each of the
00:22 first two games inside Wrigley. Same story today, minus 118 on
00:27 the money line for Atlanta.
00:28 I think we might get runs in this game again because if we're
00:31 taking a look at the 78 degrees, which is nice in Chicago, wind's
00:34 not really going to help you all that much blowing more from right
00:36 foul pole over the left foul pole. But if we take a look at
00:38 the pictures and here's always the some times where I like to
00:41 break down a game and say I don't have enough information.
00:44 Darius Vines only faced 41 batters here in Major League
00:47 Baseball this season, none of the past 30 days. He's got some
00:50 pretty brutal numbers and 184 ISO power number and a weighted
00:53 on base percentage of 358. So let's go back to see what he was
00:56 actually doing in AAA. His last start been in AAA, which came
01:00 against St. Louis's affiliate four and two thirds innings
01:03 pitched over 25 batters faced eight hits, six earned runs, two
01:08 home runs and three walks giving up with only four strikeouts. So
01:12 if there's a chance for the Chicago Cubs to bounce back
01:14 today, it's going to come from the first four guys in that
01:16 lineup. It's Talkman, Suzuki, Bellinger, Bellinger, excuse me,
01:20 and Morrell. Those guys all elevated ISO and weighted on
01:23 base percentages against a pitcher that might not
01:26 technically be a major league pitcher today. So maybe I'll
01:29 lean on that aspect here. I think the Braves might go down
01:31 today. But more than that, I like the total in this game to
01:34 go to the over
