00:00No picture listed as of this moment for L.A. on FanDuel and thus an even money.

00:05Pick them on that money line.

00:07Minus 108 on both sides.

00:09TRS, what is your card showing?

00:10Has Dave Roberts named a starter just yet for the Dodgers?

00:14It looks like it says it's Davis here.

00:16So I'm just trying to take a look at some of the updated things,

00:18see if I have his numbers.

00:19Okay, I have his numbers.

00:20So let's just take a look.

00:21And you're correct.

00:23What a second.

00:23The Dodgers minus 108.

00:25Boyd's on the mound here.

00:26Boyd actually does have some interesting statistics where it's like,

00:29okay, he has an X-fip that's a little bit higher, but an ERA lower.

00:32So getting a little bit more lucky.

00:3472 degree temperatures here at first pitch at 7 o'clock tonight

00:37with a light wind blowing out to left field.

00:39So you'd figure you'd get offense.

00:41Now, Noah Davis last year, 98 batters he's faced.

00:44A 170 ISO, which is slightly elevated,

00:46but a 399 weighted on base percentage, which is really elevated.

00:49A guy last year that didn't walk too many people,

00:51but also, more importantly, Ben, didn't strike out a lot of batters.

00:55You look at an offense today that presents itself against right-handed pitching,

00:59elevated weighted on base percentage and ISO power numbers from Tucker,

01:02Suzuki, and Bush.

01:03Also, Pete Crowe, Armstrong, and Carson Kelly.

01:06You might think that we might be able to get some damage in.

01:08Let's flip it over to Matthew Boyd, the left-handed pitcher here for the Cubs.

01:11Last year, limited innings here, or should I say limited batters, 213.

01:15Had pretty good numbers.

01:16This year, decent numbers again, but the K rates are a little bit lower,

01:19which is why we have that ERA not showing up as high as that X-fip number is.

01:23You look at the lineup today, doesn't hit left-handed pitching all that great.

01:26Like, Otani's a plus, Betts is a plus, Tassica Hernandez on fire, Will Smith.

01:31But you look at Max Muncy, Enrique Hernandez, and also Andy Pahez, all low numbers.

01:35But if I'm looking, it's optimistically saying,

01:37I don't know if we're getting two good pitching performances.

01:40Fresh off of what we saw last night with 21 runs,

01:42why aren't we getting more runs today again at night?

01:45Because it's not even a quick turnaround.

01:46Like, yo, they played at night last night to getaway day.

01:48They're playing at 1 o'clock.

01:49Maybe you don't have the great roster in there.

01:51No, no, no, no, no.

01:52You get the full 24 hours off and a nice night at Wrigley.

01:55Why can't we get a total in this game?
