World Series Champs Face Postseason Danger as Rangers Host Twins
Transcript
00:03Reigning World Series champs in grave danger of missing out on
00:07the postseason this year unless they can turn things around
00:10quickly. They're booked as a home underdog today against the
00:14Twins total of eight. What's the play in Arlington? Sounds
00:18like ten games under 500 soon to be coming to the Texas Rangers
00:22here. The Minnesota Twins got the better pitch on the mound
00:24Bailey over maybe not one of those household names that you
00:27love to bet on but on the card today, he's number two overall
00:29exit. Minus numbers of 77. But how about this for you?
00:32Non-analytical guys? How about last 60 days? 1.76 ERA. Maybe
00:37that resonates a little bit more. If you take a look at just
00:39his last 101 batters, he's faced an 086 ISO and awaited on base
00:44percentage of 165 microscopic here. Let's flip it over to the
00:48other side. Cody Bradford only 48 batters. He's faced over the
00:51past 30 days, but really been struggling with right-handed
00:54batters to the tune of a 360 ISO and awaited on base percentage
00:57of 416. You go right to that lineup today. Royce Lewis has
01:01great numbers against left-handed pitching. You also
01:03take a look at Kyle Farmer limited at bats. He's done well
01:06Christian Vasquez. I just think the Minnesota Twins are the
01:08better team today with the better pitcher and a cheap price
01:11even though it's on the road. Give me the Twins.
