00:00Speaking of the Twins and the Royals, one of the few day

00:06baseball games that we have on the card on this Wednesday. It

00:10is a slight pick'em or a virtual pick'em probably better

00:13said today in case. Oh wow. Now, we're actually moving back.

00:17It's in Minnesota. It was minus 110 for the Twins when we asked

00:21about this game with Craig Mish. It was minus 112 on our

00:25graphic earlier in the day. Now, it is swung back to KC at

00:28minus 112. Maybe because of Craig Mish's pick for the day,

00:33Michael Massey, a couple of base knocks for KC. I think

00:36it's actually a good look by him too because if you look at

00:38Louis Varland on the mound, not a great pitcher. 148 batters

00:41he's faced on the season. Nobody has problems with Ben.

00:43Left-handed batters. So, if you key on some of those and say,

00:46alright, if the wind is blowing in though from right field at

00:49double digits, that doesn't help left-handed batters.

00:51You're basically looking to pull home runs and that might

00:53be a little bit of a hindrance but there's still is close to

00:5580 degree temperatures today in Minneapolis but if we are

00:58looking at Massey against right-handed pitching over the

01:00past 30 days, 68 bats he's had been at 200 iso. You'll live

01:04with that. You take a look at Vinny Pasquantino. 75 at bats

01:07against right-handed pitching over the past month. A 214 iso

01:10power number and MJ Melendez here. Another left-handed

01:13batter with 34 bats against right-handed pitching over the

01:15past month. A 267 iso power number. So, for me, it's hard

01:19to trust some of these guys which it's it's not a cop out

01:22because you're going to get plus money on any RBI props you

01:24have and as I said, left-handed batters might struggle a little

01:27bit with that wind blowing in from right field but those

01:29three guys got some really good numbers against right-handed

01:32pitching and a right-handed pitcher in Louis Varland

01:34struggling with lefties. That's the side that makes the most

01:36sense to me. Forget about the side in the total. One of those

01:38two guys or even three of them can get RBI chances here for

01:41the Kansas City Royals.
