00:00postseason preview. That is the question here for our next game

00:09up up in the Bronx between the Yankees and the Royals. KC

00:13stabbing the seven game skin now have won four straight

00:16games. They swept the twins this weekend. Kansas City down

00:19the second American League wild card spot. The Yankees a half

00:23game lead over Baltimore for the top spot in the American

00:26League East eight and a half is the total. The Yanks are rather

00:29hefty favorite at home today. Is it too steep of a price? It

00:34is a very steep price here for Carlos Rodon, but if you're

00:36saying to yourself, maybe you're not willing to take the

00:38Kansas City Royals figure they can get a win at Yankee

00:40Stadium. Just focus on some RBI props. Why is that Carlos Rodon

00:43has struggled on the season against right-handed batters?

00:46Sometimes lefty pitchers do do that now. It hasn't been bad on

00:49the season itself 528. How about that batters he's facing

00:52the right hand side at 211 iso and a 332 weighted on base

00:56percentage. It actually gets slightly better over the past

00:5830 days. But if you look in the middle of that order for the

01:00Royals, that's Bobby Witt at Salvador Perez and Paul de

01:03Young 276, 481 and 292 respectively with those iso

01:07power numbers. Look at the weighted on base percentages

01:10for those three guys 432, 444 and 378. One two or maybe three

01:16of those guys legitimate opportunities for RBI. If you

01:19take a look at Brady Singer, he's got decent stats, but he

01:21does have higher weighted on base percentages against lefty

01:24than he does righties. So if you're looking at that lineup

01:27and saying Donnie, give me a couple RBI chances for the

01:29Yanks tonight. It's Soto, it's Wells and it's Chisholm in the

01:32middle of that lineup 72 degrees with the wind blowing

01:35out at Yankee Stadium. We have some decent RBI chances

01:37tonight. If you don't want to lay the actual side itself

01:40then.
