00:00We have the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox facing off a slightly earlier first
00:08pitch start, 6.30 p.m. Eastern time on this Friday.
00:13It's a day that we love here on the early line in the Vanderbilt Sportsbook, but it's
00:18only known as one thing, Louis Hill on the mound for the New York Yankees, minus 156,
00:25the price in favor of the pinstripes.
00:27Even on the road in Fenway, over-runner now stands at 9.5.
00:32What do you like in the opener between these two longstanding rivals?
00:36By the way, I do think this is interesting, and you're right, a little bit earlier start.
00:40Probably why?
00:41Because the NDA Finals are taking place, and also, usually when the Yankees are in town,
00:44it's a big deal.
00:45Like, I honestly think they probably, on every single board at the stadium, should just be
00:49running the basketball game if this baseball game does run late, but granted, the way baseball
00:54gets over, used to be on Sunday night baseball, the Red Sox versus the Yankees would take
00:58like seven hours.
00:59No longer the case, so you might be out of there by the time the game even starts to
01:02get the people watching, but this game itself, you're looking at Brian Baio on the mound
01:07tonight.
01:08Does struggle with left-handed batters.
01:09You know there's a lefty in that lineup that is a heat-seeking missile, and that's Juan
01:12Soto.
01:13Should be on your cards.
01:1485 at-bats against right-handed pitching over the past month, .382 ISO weighted on base
01:18percentage, .469.
01:19You know the rest of the characters.
01:20You're expecting Volpe, Soto, Judge, Radugo, and Stanton to do some damage along with Glaber,
01:24Torres, and they probably will, but on the other side, as we talked about, Luis Gil is
01:28on the mound.
01:29He's been pretty filthy for this entirety of the Major League Baseball season.
01:33If I'm looking at his numbers since May 1st, it's an 84 X-minus, which is very good.
01:37Now there are a couple of really good batters on this team for Boston, particularly at home.
01:41Duran's been good.
01:42Hamilton's been good.
01:43Devers has been good.
01:44Even Emmanuel Valdez.
01:45Guys that may be not top of your name when you say, ooh, who's a really good player in
01:48Major League Baseball, but I'm still going to leave it up here to the Yankees.
01:51I think they have the better pitcher on the mound today, and a lot of that can do damage.
01:55Temperatures here, not as hot as they were yesterday in Boston, 74 degrees with some
01:58rain in the forecast, but we should get some runs from the Yankees side.
02:01I think the Yankees handle their business here.
