00:00The Dodgers now on the road tonight in Denver at Coors.
00:07It's the summer months at mile high.
00:10That means the total is 12 offense expected tonight at Coors Field.
00:15Yeah.
00:16I mean, come on now, 89 degrees at first pitch tonight with double digit wind blowing out
00:20to right field.
00:21We are expecting some runs and also the one guy that loves to provide fly balls in Major
00:25League Baseball.
00:26That's James Paxson.
00:27Take a look at 17 pitchers on the card today with a minimum of 10 innings pitch since May
00:31the 1st.
00:32Paxton is 16 out of 17 with an exit minus of a 121.
00:36Now, sometimes you get that mixed bag because he was like, I always like to say, you know,
00:40dancing in between the raindrops for most of the season before finally getting banged
00:43around the past couple of weeks.
00:45But if we are expecting that same type of performance, not a lot of strikeouts, the
00:48ball in play, that's usually a disaster mode in Colorado.
00:51And also take a look at the Colorado Rockies against left-handed pitching been over the
00:55past month.
00:56I'm just going to read you the weighted on base percentage here.
00:58There's only two guys that are south of the average.
01:01Everybody else.
01:02Tovar, 354.
01:03Doyle, 389.
01:04McMahon, 401.
01:05Nolan Jones.
01:06And again, it's only two at bat here.
01:07It's a 790.
01:08So you take that with a grain of salt.
01:09Stalling, 629.
01:10Goodman, 470.
01:11And Amador, who just got called up at a 445.
01:14This lineup should be able to hit Paxton tonight, but in the same way, Cal Quantrill
01:18actually mirrors as a better pitcher right now than James Paxson.
01:21But we know the quality of that lineup is going to be changing for those Dodgers.
01:27Shohei Ohtani projected now to be the leadoff hitter for the Dodgers.
01:30That should shake things up.
01:31But the first six guys in the lineup tonight, Ohtani, Hernandez, Freeman, Smith, Pajes,
01:36and Hayward.
01:37All of those guys.
01:38Above average high school power number against right-handed pitching over the past month.
01:41We should be looking at runs tonight.
