00:00Arizona and New York. They have the final two spots in the
00:06National League wild card standings. Both looking up at
00:09San Diego by three games. The Padres swept the White Sox this
00:13weekend as you would expect. San Francisco though, the
00:16surprising sweep of the weekend in Kansas City at Kauffman over
00:21the Royals. The Dbacks took three of four, nearly four of
00:24four against Milwaukee. Arizona wants to keep winning knowing
00:28how crucial the Braves and the Mets series is going to be
00:31starting tomorrow in Atlanta. What do you like tonight in the
00:34desert? And just as we talked about eight pitchers on the
00:38card, the top two pitchers on the card in the game we just
00:40talked about with Seattle and Houston. How about this? The
00:42two worst pitchers on the card we're gonna talk about today
00:44with San Francisco and Aaron excuse me Arizona. That would
00:48be Eduardo Rodriguez and Hayden Birdsong. Here's the issue.
00:50Rodriguez has not been a good pitcher. Typically left-handed
00:53batters have been getting the best of him as a left-handed
00:55pitcher. That can't happen. But let's focus on the San
00:58Francisco Giants offense. One of those teams we never expect
01:01to do a ton of damage. They're in Arizona. Not at home. Maybe
01:04they can break through. How about this? Let me give you the
01:07last 30 days action for this lineup against left-handed
01:10pitching, Ben. We'll go one through eight. Fitzgerald all
01:14the way through Schmidt. ISO power numbers, Ben, are as
01:16followed. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. And
01:23zero. And then Grant McRae. Good old Grant McRae in the
01:26nine hole there hitting 300 with his ISO power number
01:28against left-handed pitching. So for my money, a team is in
01:31it. A team is out of it. One team can't hit lefties at all.
01:34It's gotta be an Arizona Diamondbacks night tonight.
01:37Forget about how bad Eduardo Rodriguez is. They can't hit
01:39left-handed pitching. Diamondbacks win.
