00:00We'll be right back.

00:03Now only to turn things around with zero wet rest and head out

00:07west to the top team in the National League West. That's the

00:11LA Dodgers tonight at the ravine a rare interleague matchup.

00:14The Dodgers minus 162 hosting the Kansas City Royals total

00:19at a what happens tonight in Los Angeles. Yeah, nice night.

00:2472 degrees typical for Los Angeles. You take a look at the

00:27lineup tonight going up against the left-handed pitcher for the

00:29Dodgers over the past month. They actually have six guys with

00:32weighted on base percentages in the plus Territory Freeman

00:34Smith Hernandez Pajes Rojas and Kiki Hernandez. Here's the issue

00:39yesterday. Got a great start of Marsh on the mound for Kansas

00:42City. We're looking for a repeat performance night for

00:44Reagan's if we take a look again since May the first Reagan's

00:47on the card today out of 28 pitchers. He's number four at a

00:5070 x-fifth minus which is sensational. And also when you

00:54take a look at what he struggles with right-handed batters

00:57or a lefty typically is that struggle point? That's not the

00:59case. He actually struggles more with left-handed batters

01:02than he does with righties particularly over the past 30

01:04days. And in order to take advantage of that, maybe the

01:07best left-handed batter in a lot of you would figure would be

01:09Shohei Otani. That's not the case here a zero ISO power

01:12number through his last 29 at bats against lefties for Otani

01:15is quite surprising. But if you take a look at Freddie

01:17Freeman's last 30 at bats, he's got a 308 ISO power number and

01:21a weighted on base percentage of 407. So that might be a little

01:24bit of luck that you can get down flip it over to the other

01:26side Gavin Stone say, oh look at that. Maybe the Dodgers

01:28don't have the advantage on the mound. Gavin Stone since May

01:311st here. How about this in 88 x-fifth minus number with great

01:34splits between lefties and righties 97 at bats over the

01:37past month a 283 weighted on base percentage in an 098 ISO

01:41power number. So for my money in this game, I love the

01:44offensive guys. They just don't match up against these

01:47pitchers. We'll go under each other's ravine tonight.
