Chris Sale Leads Braves vs. Brewers on Wednesday Night
Transcript
00:00Chris Sale is the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award and a plus 110 number.
00:04He gets the start today in Atlanta for the Braves, who are a minus 164 home money line
00:10favorite. Two straight goose eggs out of Atlanta at home in their last two games.
00:16They're trying to get some offense today against Milwaukee. Does it happen?
00:20Yeah, I don't know if they can because again, sometimes you just have to ride those streaks,
00:23right? When the Phillies aren't playing great baseball, still a good pitcher, still a good
00:26lineup. Sometimes you have to take it with a grain of salt and say, I don't really want to
00:29bet them until they get it back together. A couple of good performances from the Phillies
00:32at the plate. You feel much better tonight, even if it's Phillips on the mound. The reason I'm
00:36bringing that up is you're Chris Sale and you don't want to waste it like, hey, Chris Sale,
00:39I'm going to go and give you a seven innings pitch and one earned run and be losing when I
00:43leave the game. That's supposed to be an easy victory here. So what are we looking for? Law
00:47of average is like to say, well, you can't go three straight games with a shutout. That's not
00:51a lot of, hey, look, I'm really looking forward to bet the Atlanta Braves and sooner than later,
00:55they should bounce back. If we are looking at the numbers itself, the one thing I will say,
00:59if we're looking from an Atlanta batting side, you know, Austin Riley, Marcel Zuna, Olsen,
01:03Arcia and Whitmer, if it all have decent numbers against right-handed pitching and Freddie Peralta,
01:08who is a quality pitcher, not as good right now as he was to start the season, because if we're
01:13taking a look at the last 30 days, ISO against 224, weighted on base percentage against 30,
01:18excuse me, 342, you should be able to hit. So theoretically, yes, maybe the best pitcher in
01:23baseball, particularly in the national league is on the mound today at home. You should be able to
01:27lean on that. But once again, it's not as if it's like, hey, every night we're getting five
01:30plus runs at Atlanta. This should be an easy one. It's one where you ride it out and say,
01:34well, I wish we were up more than one run after seven innings and sale leaves the game.
01:38That's what you're left with. No confidence for me right now in betting the Atlanta Braves.
01:42They just haven't shown up on the plate the last two days and I can't back them today,
01:45even if Chris sales on the mound.
