00:00seven runs in one inning, a half inning for the L. A Dodgers
00:08yesterday in their wild rally and come back at Coors against
00:12the Colorado Rockies. 11 and nine, the victory for L. A. And
00:15in the top of the ninth, Jason Hayward, a pinch hit grand
00:19salami, got the Dodgers back into the game. And then Teoscar
00:23Hernandez, a three run shot to win it after maybe what should
00:26have been called a strike on a check swing. But regardless,
00:29history will show a seven run comeback for the L. A. Dodgers
00:3410 and a half. The total today at Coors between the Rockies
00:38and L. A. The Dodgers booked is a $2 favorite with Bobby Miller
00:42on the bump total on Monday night was 12 Dodgers win 9 to
00:485 total yesterday DRS because of the rally was 11. The Dodgers
00:52win 11 tonight, both games over. Will we see it for a third
00:56straight day?
00:58Could be whether or not as I guess appreciative of what we
01:01needed to be at this time of the year in Colorado 70 degrees,
01:04which is nice, but a wind blowing in from dead center
01:05field about five to six miles an hour. And again, we're still
01:08playing at Coors. The ball is going to travel, but we're just
01:10not getting those heated up temperatures and a wind blowing
01:13out. Now being said that I did get a kick out of last night
01:15Tasker's home run. If you watch that on a replay or maybe a
01:18highlight you saw the minute that ball went over the fence
01:21that right the other was screaming at the umpire on the
01:24first baseline here knowing that that should have been a
01:27strike three call and that game was basically over but yet
01:29now they're going to lose because they gave up that home
01:31run flip it over to tonight because Randy Feltner hasn't
01:34been a great pitcher. Now, you have to understand one thing
01:36his ERA since May 1st is over six, but he does pitch at
01:39Coors Field. So if we try to put those metrics in to sort
01:42of level the playing field, his exit minus number is slightly
01:45under 100. So he's not a terrible pitcher, but here's the
01:48issue. He's a right-handed pitcher. He's been great this
01:51year been against right-handed batters for the year and the
01:54past 30 days the issue. He can't get left-handed batters
01:57out on the season. It's a 234 ISO and a weighted on base
02:00percentage of 390. Take a look at the last 30 days though.
02:04It's a 404 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 478, you
02:08know where we're looking right there first part of that
02:10lineup. Joey Otani lefty leading off Freddie Freeman lefty
02:14in that three hole here and even Jason Hayward is due to get
02:16the start today after hitting that pinch hit Grand Slam last
02:19night. Those guys need to be on your card. Now when you say
02:22to yourself, what am I getting from the Dodgers pitching
02:24perspective? Well, we're hoping for good things for Bobby
02:27Vail. We don't have anything over the past 30 days to lean
02:29on and it wasn't as if these early part of the season
02:31through those 50 batters. He was lighting the season on fire.
02:34So even though it's not unbelievable hitting conditions,
02:37we're still at 70 degrees at first pitch. We're probably
02:40going to get 12 plus runs once again tonight buoyed by those
02:43left-handed bats for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
