00:00the Yankees 45 and 19 most wins best record in all of the bigs but not as of
00:09this moment for tonight LA with Yamamoto on the mound minus 126 is the road
00:15Moneyline favorites yeah trying to do some background information quickly here
00:19Cody Poteet is gonna be on the mound so certainly not one of those named
00:22pitchers that we like to talk about but looking at some of the starts that he's
00:25had this year major league baseball only two which is all my number shows 42 at
00:29bats total only 19 of those in the past 30 days if we take a look between those
00:34starts five innings pitch and six innings pitch she's actually done
00:36decent there the last game he's pitched against the Giants on the first of the
00:40month 19 batters he faced there two earned runs before that he went six
00:44innings against the Guardians on the road and only one earned so he will be
00:47making his first start of the year at Yankee Stadium which certainly shows
00:50that stepping up into the big time he can fill into those shoes because you're
00:53gonna need it going up against some of these hitters now granted 75 degrees at
00:57first pitch you take a look at 12 mile an hour winds blowing out the right
01:00field we got an atmosphere that should be able to get that ball into the seats
01:04but if we're taking a look from that you know Dodgers perspective you do have the
01:08better pedigree pitcher on the mound there's no doubt about that numbers for
01:12the past 30 days have been good but a little bit leaky against right-handed
01:15batters and as we know you start to focus on stamp you start to focus on
01:19Aaron judge and rightfully so now in the starting lineup anticipated today is Juan
01:24Soto who certainly has been doing his fair amount of damage over the past
01:26month going up against right-handed pitchers the question is gonna be is he
01:30going to come back in now reading into the Soto injury he actually said Ben it
01:35doesn't hurt when I hit or throw or even play the field it's really just when I'm
01:39just sitting around that I can just feel that achiness in my forum now the good
01:43part about that is he's not a pitcher when you hear forum tightness out of a
01:46pitcher start to think doom and gloom forum tightness out of a hitter maybe
01:50you can work around that and maybe it's no big deal because it did come out of
01:53last night's game after the rain delay as a precautionary factor but
01:56sometimes we see that hey give the guy a day or two off it's like the world
02:00series to do that because you know all of these guys are amped up by playing
02:03the Dodgers and playing the Yankees in Yankee Stadium I would be surprised if
02:06Soto's out of the lineup but just something to keep an eye on tonight yeah
02:10it is really interesting DRS because forearm tightness if you were to hear
02:14that for any pitcher like alright Tommy John surgery let's get it on the OR
02:18schedule as of right now but not the case necessarily with your position of
02:23good to hear from Soto that it's not really bugging him just can be sore and
02:28achy after layoffs and with the delay yesterday maybe that was the issue a
02:33spotty shower or two midway through the afternoon in the New York City area but
02:37I am very pleased because tonight is supposed to be perfect baseball weather
02:41up in the Bronx
