00:00Now we go to Southern California and a California rivalry between the San Diego Padres and the L.A. Dodgers.
00:09San Diego playing some great baseball since the break. Same for L.A. They are 7-3 since returning from the All-Star break.
00:17Tyler Glass now goes up against Matt Waldron. Glass now in the Dodgers, a slight road favorite at minus 134 on the road in San Diego.
00:25Total at 7.5. What do you like tonight in this California clash?
00:30Glass now last 60 days out here. 63 X-Fit minus, which is a very good number and also in a pitcher's ballpark.
00:36You might be finding yourself saying, OK, if Glass now is the best that the Dodgers have to offer and the Dodgers are a very good team,
00:41why are they going up against the Padres who have been playing better baseball, as you pointed out, Ben,
00:45but maybe not that pedigree pitcher on the mound that should be 150 or higher at this point?
00:50Well, the reason being is the Padres are playing very good. Also, the Padres are at home.
00:54If we're lining up this team, too, because Matt Waldron will be on the mound. Last 74 batters he's faced from the left-hand side,
00:59a 116 ISO and a weighted-on-base percentage of 215. That's Otani, that's Lux, that's Kayward, that's Altman, that's Biggio in that lineup.
01:07So you're going to focus on the right-handed batters. On this season, Waldron has been really good against Ben.
01:12A 129 ISO and a weighted-on-base percentage of 288. Let's flip it over to the last 30 days.
01:1730 days, that completely changes. That 129 ISO power number, Ben, elevated to a 333.
01:22That 288 weighted-on-base percentage on this season, now elevated to a 491.
01:27I know it's a square play here in this environment. I'll trust Glass now and the Dodgers' lineup more so than Matt Waldron on the mound.
01:34That's the way I'd go in this one.
