00:00The Boston Red Sox, the Seattle Mariners, two teams right now trying to get a wild card spot.
00:08Seattle of course tied for the top spot in the American League West with Houston. Inside Fenway
00:14today the Red Sox lost this weekend set against the New York Yankees in the finale yesterday.
00:20Boston since the all-star break just 2-7. The Mariners coming off a sweep of the Chicago White
00:25Sox good it's what you should do but the M's did lose eight of their previous nine entering this
00:31weekend against the South Siders. Eight and a half the total today in Fenway. What's your play?
00:37Seems like a low number doesn't it for Fenway wind blowing out five miles an hour which again
00:41not really a significance there. Temperatures in the low 70s so you're getting a good night and
00:45also that Boston lineup one through six Dominic Smith, Tyler O'Neal, Devers, Yoshida, Abreu and
00:50Durant all elevated weighted on base percentages and for the most part ISO power numbers but Logan
00:55Gilbert comes into this game fourth on the card with a 78 x-fit minus and an ERA over the past
01:0060 days of 2.37. Nick Pavetta hasn't really been much worse an 81 x-fit minus even though his ERA
01:06is hovering around that 4.7 range but if I'm just going pitcher to pitcher I do trust Gilbert a
01:12little bit more and so many times you would take a look at as I just said the Boston Red Sox lineup
01:16looks much better on paper but the Mariners who typically come in from a day-to-day performance
01:21like man who could even take in this lineup get this their first six batters Robles, Rosarena,
01:26Rowley, Polanco, Hanegra and Vosler all elevated ISO and weighted on base percentages here. I think
01:32I have the slightly better pitcher on Seattle. I'll take that slightly dog price also on the
01:36Mariners tonight to try to beat the Boston Red Sox.
