00:00The Giants at home by the Bay today, a minus 225 favorite against the White Sox, total

00:08of seven and a half.

00:10San Francisco not out of it, DRS, Chicago has been eliminated.

00:14We'll talk about that in just a moment.

00:16But even from the theoretical perspective of truly being in the hunt, the Giants and

00:20even 563 and 63, four games back of Atlanta for the third and final nationally wildcard

00:27spot added motivation tonight to take care of business against baseball's worst team.

00:32Let's forget about the Giants and how they would do it to play it against Jonathan Cannon

00:36is not a great pitcher here, right?

00:37They should be okay.

00:38But let's focus more about that Chicago White Sox lineup that we're going to get Kyle Harrison's

00:42a left handed pitcher will be on the mound tonight for the San Francisco Giants.

00:45His last 83 batters that he's faced, he's got a 257 ISO against which means right handed

00:51batters are absolutely clubbing him to the tune of an ISO power number of 317 and a weighted

00:56on base percentage of 378 boy, sign me up here on the Chicago White Sox.

01:02Not so fast.

01:03People remove Andrew Benintendi, who is a left handed batter with a 211 ISO and a weighted

01:08on base percentage of 318.

01:10Let's just take a look at the last month.

01:11The Chicago White Sox going up against left handed pitching and we use ISO power numbers.

01:16So Donnie, what is isolated power?

01:18Actually removes the single and grade you on doubles, triples and home runs effectively.

01:22Which team is cracking the whip against some of these pitchers?

01:25Well, zero typically is a bad number throughout any sport here.

01:29And again, if we remove Benintendi, let's go over the roster today.

01:32Over the past 30 days against left handed pitching for the White Sox, Lopez zero, Robert

01:37zero, Vaughn 091, Lee zero, Vargas zero, Sosa zero, Jokes zero, Baldwin impressive 071.

01:46So I don't know where any offense is coming whatsoever from Chicago.

01:50Like, isn't this been the ultimate dynamic?

01:52One pitcher who can't get right handed batters out.

01:55We're going to have a stacked lineup with primarily right handed batters that none of

01:58them can hit left handed pitching.

02:00This one should be a barn burner out there in San Francisco.
