00:00 All right, so let's get to Philadelphia. The Phil's the best team in baseball, 39 and 18 best record
00:05 specifically in all of the major leagues taking on the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend for a three-game set.
00:12 The Cards playing much better baseball back to an even 500,
00:16 27 and 27 record, but DRS on May 11th, just about two and a half weeks ago, St. Louis, nine games below 500.
00:23 From that point, they are 12 and 3.
00:27 Aaron Nola gets the start today for the Phil's. Miles Michaelis on the other side for the Redbirds, who wins tonight in Philly.
00:33 I'll tell you it's interesting. That's a high price point there at -188.
00:37 Even though the Phillies are the best team in baseball, Aaron Nola, one of their aces on the mound tonight, going up against Miles
00:42 Michaelis, who quite granted, isn't a great pitcher.
00:44 However, the weighted on base percentages against right-handed pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies over the past month has actually been pretty good here.
00:50 You're looking at possibly, what, seven guys, at least a 312 or higher weighted on base percentage, which isn't bad.
00:56 The question is here, where are the power numbers going to come from the Philadelphia Phillies?
01:00 Because the one thing we know, Miles Michaelis struggles with left-handed batters.
01:02 If you are looking for an RBI prop today on the Philadelphia Phillies, and you'll add one guy,
01:06 you know who you're going with. Left-handed batter Bryce Harper, 316 ISO over the past month through 66 at-bats against right-handed pitching and a weighted on base percentage.
01:14 That's really good at 422, but everybody else in that lineup, 107, 137, 147, 135, 090, 061, 119, 061.
01:23 They haven't provided that punch here. So maybe a lower scoring game at the bank, even though it's 75 degrees,
01:29 but Ben, a wind blowing in from left field at close to 10 miles an hour.
01:33 The Phillies should win. I'm not laying that price here, but I do see, and it's tough, man.
01:37 It's a small ballpark. We're starting to get to hitting weather, and also the rising up of that lineup for the Carlins has been very good,
01:43 but Nola should be able to tame them, and I don't know if enough left-handed batters can do enough damage against Miles Michaelis in this game.
01:48 And you say, "Well, maybe. Schwarber can do that."
01:50 He hasn't been that great against right-handed pitching over the past month, only a 107 ISO power number.
01:55 Phillies win. Don't want to lay that price. Maybe looking at an under.
