00:00Fails no slouch. They're 5-1 to begin this year after sweeping the Rockies,
00:04ending out that sweep yesterday with a 3-1 win. Donnie, we expect the Dodgers to probably be a
00:09favorite in 150-plus of 162 regular season games this year. This is as close of a number
00:18to a Moneyline Pick'Em as we have seen for the Dodgers yet. Yoshi Yamamoto and the L.A. Dodgers
00:24will be a slight favorite at the bank at minus 126 total of 8. What do you expect to see tonight
00:32in Philadelphia? We've got about 65 degree temperatures, no rain in the forecast. It rained
00:37a lot here earlier, but obviously that shouldn't be an issue tonight. Light wind blowing in from
00:41center field 3-4 miles per hour, so insignificant. So there should be some decent hitting weather
00:45tonight for this game that we're anticipating that should be great. You normally look at that
00:498 total with a Phillies-Dodgers game in Citizens Bank Park and say, you know, what is that,
00:53Shohei Otani going up against Zach Wheeler at this point, because how efficient and effective
00:57those offenses can be. So I normally look at that 8, and rightfully so tonight. I don't care what
01:01the handicap is. You're probably leaning towards the over, because every single guy in both of
01:05these lineups seem like they can do damage. And some of the numbers already take a look at, like,
01:09Yamamoto is a very good pitcher. Last year, Ben, 434 batters he faced, a 135 iso awaited on base
01:14percentage of 272. Fantastic to open the season. Again, only one start, 22 batters faced. Lefties
01:20he's been really good against. Righties have been getting the best of them. And look at the
01:23Philadelphia Phillies. Most of their players around 10 to 12 at bats against right-handed
01:27pitching. Elevated iso power numbers on 7 of the 9 starters anticipated tonight. But when you take
01:32a look for the Dodgers, like, Lizardo's one of those guys that if the Phillies got it right
01:36with this trade, and he was anywhere near as effective as he was in his first start, what a
01:40fantastic move for the Philadelphia Phillies. But you also take a look at that lineup where last
01:45year, Lizardo injured at times, not performing all that effectively. Left-handed pitcher not
01:50even getting left-handed batters out. But now you have a lefty going up against the Dodgers.
01:54Haven't seen a lot of lefties this year. And outside of Betts, Edmond, and Tasker, Hernandez,
01:58they haven't hit lefties all that well. Do I lean towards the Philadelphia Phillies tonight as a
02:02home dog of the ballpark? Yes. Phillies are good. Dodgers are unbeaten. But if you're just looking
02:06to take a flyer in this game, boy, it's hard to take the under with these two offenses in that
02:11ballpark here. Each one around four runs sounds about right in this one. We'll play it out. I'll
02:16lean towards the Phillies getting the plus 114 slight plus money and a slight lean towards the
02:21over. But betting purposes for me tonight, will I have any wagers? Yeah, probably not in this one,
02:26to be honest.
