00:00
The Pittsburgh Pirates throwing their ace, Paul Skeens, against Yamamoto.
00:04
Maybe an ace there for the Dodgers.
00:06
Look at this price point, Joe.
00:08
Opened up at minus 215 with Skeens on the mound.
00:11
You would think he might be a favorite.
00:12
He's not.
00:13
He's the dog.
00:14
It's even higher right now at a minus 225 price for those Dodgers and a total of seven.
00:19
But by the way, looking at statistics, Yamamoto's XFIP coming into today on the season, a 1.81.
00:26
Phenomenal.
00:27
Paul Skeens coming in at a 2.59.
00:29
Really good here.
00:30
Seven runs.
00:31
I don't know if we get there, but in your mind, are we overrating this matchup or is it just,
00:35
hey, Pittsburgh, I don't think you can get very many base hits tonight.
00:39
Well, I mean, they just came off of what?
00:42
A extra inning loss last night to the Angels, but they did win the series finally, Pittsburgh,
00:48
which is great.
00:49
They look like they finally started to hit the ball, but now you got to take a short,
00:55
what, bus ride there to go to Chesra Dean and take on the Dodgers, which let's be realistic.
01:01
This is a totally different, totally different animal that they're going to be walking into.
01:06
And as good as Skeens is, we've seen that.
01:09
Yeah, he's not going to tends not to get the run support against better teams that he might
01:16
against a team like the Angels.
01:18
So Yamamoto, to your point, has been absolutely lights out here.
01:23
And the bullpen of the Dodgers has also been great.
01:26
So where are the runs coming from in this game is my question, because Pittsburgh's bullpen
01:32
has actually been pretty decent over the last month here, Donnie.
01:36
So to me, it's a dead under in this game.
01:39
Good luck trying to figure out where the runs are coming from.
