Mets vs. A's Matchup Analysis: Battle for Wild Card Spot
Transcript
00:00A rubber match today. Some day baseball up in Queens at City
00:06Field. The Mets and the A's. If Donnie is correct and Logan Webb
00:11is good today for San Francisco. The Giants avoid a
00:15sweep. It would be a must win type of game for the Mets to
00:18close to only a game behind Atlanta for the third and final
00:22National League wild card spot. The line working in favor of
00:26the Amazons. Now a minus 180 home money line favorite total
00:29at eight and a half. What do you like for the rubber match
00:32against the A's? Yeah, Spence is an interesting pitcher on the
00:35mound today. Last 96 batters he's faced over the past month
00:38of 140 ice on a weighted on base percentage of 304, which
00:40is very good. Analytically, though, if we're looking at the
00:43card, there actually are some really good pitchers here. So
00:45maybe it's a little bit unfair. I got him ranked 14th out of
00:4815th pitchers. However, his exit minus is only a 103 slightly
00:52above average. I just trust that New York Mets lineup a little
00:55bit more 86 degree temperatures today in Queens should be able
00:58to be a decent hitting day. Now also looking at that Oakland
01:02Athletics lineup going up against Jose Quintana left
01:04handed pitcher. He's actually pretty have some pretty good
01:06splits here over the past 30 days. 95 batters. He's faced
01:08been a 141 ice on a weighted on base percentage of 288. I look
01:12at the lineup today. There are some very good hitters against
01:15left handed pitching in there, but I'm not finding Rooker in
01:18that lineup. I don't know if he got banged up a little bit
01:20yesterday or it's a day game just needs a scheduled day off.
01:23They've already released that and there we go. So he's on the
01:26paternity list. So that certainly hurts where you know
01:28he probably would have a legitimate chance to go yard
01:30today. Advantage New York Mets. I think that they handle their
01:32business today and keep that offense in form like we saw
01:35yesterday.
