00:00We'll be right back with more coverage of the game.

00:03One of the best teams in Major League Baseball at this moment,

00:06at least in the past two weeks since I read they've won five

00:09straight. That's the longest win streak. They have had this

00:12season in Cincy. They've won 10 of the last 13 other edge of

00:16that coin Chicago Cubs stink right now. They've dropped 10

00:20on their last 14 games game 2 of this weekend set today at

00:24the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati and the Reds a

00:27slight favorite minus 116 with Nicola Dolo on the bump to win

00:31the second straight against Justin Steele and the Cubs total

00:35at nine tonight. What is your focus here in a game between

00:39the National League Central foes? Left-handed pitcher

00:42Justin Steele been good against lefties this year, but not so

00:44good against righties. What if I told you TJ for Delta and it's

00:47going to be only left in the lineup for those Cincinnati

00:49Reds and also taking a look at some of these opportunities

00:52low K percentages for this team over the past month. We're

00:55talking about Cincinnati up against left-handed pitching.

00:57That means the ball will be in play, but take a look at some

00:59of these weighted on base percentages of how they line up

01:01against lefties 509 357 505 405 419 and 489. It looks like a

01:08nice night to back some of these Cincinnati Reds in the

01:11RBI market and also back them for the game here Ben. High

01:15total yesterday 8 to 4 was that victory. We saw a lot of

01:19offense between the Cubs and the Reds Ellie de la Cruz

01:243-1 home run yesterday plus 200 record another Ribby today

01:29Donnie's back on the wagon. By the way, I broke through with

01:34the cruises out here because yesterday O'Neal Cruz came

01:36through for me with a home run. So maybe Ellie is next on

01:39deck. But honestly, if we're just sticking with the

01:41statistics here Ellie doesn't match up all that well against

01:44left-handed pitching. So we'll be off my card. But if he does

01:46it that'll be an added bonus because a lot of those other

01:49guys as I said would look really good tonight for the

01:51Reds.

01:54Yeah.
