00:00All right, let's take it up to Seattle, T-Mobile Park, traditionally very tough ballpark to
00:07score in.
00:08Wasn't the case last night.
00:10The Yankees put up a monster performance, 11 to 2.
00:13Can the offense keep it hot, Donnie?
00:14A couple of very strong starting arms.
00:17It's nasty Nestor Cortez getting a start for the Yankees, and it's Bryce Miller getting
00:22the go here for Seattle, right around even money.
00:25So your home dogs, and again, total set at 7.5.
00:29Do we see the explosive high-octane lineup firing on all cylinders again here from the
00:34Yankees today?
00:36This is a very interesting handicap, because I think the better pitcher overall on the
00:39mound is from a Seattle perspective.
00:40The reason I say that, I have Bryce Miller seventh on my card out of 27 pitchers, a very
00:45manageable 3.60 XFIP over the past 60 days.
00:50But also, look at that ERA, 2.16, and that's not over like 10 innings, Doug.
00:54That's 58 and a third innings pitch.
00:56He's been really good.
00:57If we're looking at some of those non-analytical numbers and what's already happened, the last
01:0154 batters that Bryce Miller has faced from the left-hand side have gotten the best of
01:05them.
01:06So my favorite RBI prop in the middle here is actually Austin Wells for the New York
01:10Yankees.
01:11But let's flip it over where the game is possibly going to be won or lost on the other side.
01:15Nestor Cortez, as I told you, is going to be the pitcher.
01:17He's a lefty.
01:18He really struggles with right-handed batters.
01:20Now take a look at the first six batters in the lineup today for the Seattle Mariners
01:24over the past 30 days against lefties.
01:27Robles, Rodriguez, Turner, Arrozarena, Garver, and Moore.
01:31I'm going to read you their XFIP number and weighted-on-base percentages here, Dubsy.
01:34Robles, 250 ISO, 471 weighted-on-base percentage.
01:38Rodriguez, 214 ISO, 346 weighted-on-base percentage.
01:41And by the way, Rodriguez last night, four base hits in the game against the Yankees.
01:45Turner, 273 ISO, 362 weighted-on-base percentage.
01:48Arrozarena, 227 ISO, 368 weighted-on-base percentage.
01:53Garver, 278 ISO, weighted-on-base percentage, 390.
01:56And Moore, 294 ISO, and a weighted-on-base percentage of 514.
02:00I think I have the better pitcher and the better lineup on the side of the Mariners
02:05tonight.
02:06They got smoked last night, Dubsy.
02:07I think they can bounce back, and I'd be willing to take that plus-money price here on the
02:11Mariners today to the up-end, the New York Yankees.
