Transcript

00:00We saw some runs yesterday in Boston.

00:06The Red Sox knock off the Mariners to start off their mid-week set 14-7.

00:12A football score, as Donny Rightside shared earlier in the show.

00:17How about this?

00:18The Red Sox debut of one James Paxton, who of course was pitching for the Dodgers this

00:23year.

00:24His most recent start, his last start in L.A. was against the Red Sox, wasn't all that

00:30bad.

00:31The Dodgers won that baseball game.

00:34James Paxton might come back to reality a little bit.

00:36If you are a Fenway fan, you are saying to yourself, guys got an 8-2 record, we're winning

00:40this baseball game, we're booked as a home underdog against Seattle, we'll be good.

00:45But he's got a 4-4 ERA, he's 8-2 because he played in L.A., will the good times continue

00:50for Paxton in Fenway?

00:53I think the good times are going to continue for that scoreboard, which should get worked

00:56on today.

00:5780 degrees out there at Fenway, 10 mile an hour winds blowing over the monster, and Paxton

01:01is a left-handed pitcher, which means Seattle is going to line up nine right-handed batters

01:05to go up against him.

01:06And if you're wondering how Paxton has done over the past 30 days against right-handed

01:09batters, close to a 300 ISO and a 500 weighted on base percentage.

01:14Paxton, once again, just like every single time he pitches, is the worst analytical pitcher

01:19on the card.

01:20Now, you look at that Seattle lineup, it's not exactly murderer's row out there.

01:24You got Rosarena and Raleigh with really high numbers, along with Carver, everybody else

01:28has flat out stunk against left-handed pitching.

01:31But this isn't your normal left-handed pitcher, this is a terrible left-handed pitcher.

01:35So we should get runs today, and if you want to take a look at maybe a sneaky team total

01:40with a team that doesn't really have great bats, it just might be the Mariners today.

01:43It's a perfect matchup for them today that lets you say score five to six runs if they

01:48can.
