00:00
The Diamondbacks get ready to welcome in their divisional foe in the team atop the division
00:04
in the National League West, atop the National League, atop all of MLB as expected.
00:10
That being the L.A. Dodgers.
00:11
Yoshi Yamamoto gets the start for the Dodgers tonight on the road in downtown Phoenix.
00:16
Minus 148 number in favor of Los Angeles.
00:19
Our guy, Brandon, fought on the other side for the D-backs.
00:22
They are the home dog.
00:23
Total now on its way up at On the Hook.
00:26
DRS over-understands at 9.
00:28
What do you like here in tonight's Desert Duel?
00:30
Yeah, taking a look at some of the pitchers on the mound today.
00:32
Yamamoto comes in with 40 innings pitched on the season.
00:34
And how about this?
00:35
An 090 ERA and an XFIP number of 2.32.
00:39
You take a look at Brandon Fault on the mound here.
00:41
3.79 ERA with an XFIP of 3.51.
00:45
Now looking at the lineups as they go against each other.
00:47
134 batters that Yamamoto has faced this season.
00:50
How about an 098 ISO power number and a weighted on base percentage of 236?
00:54
How about a combined strikeout rate for him?
00:55
For lefties and righties, Ben, 33.6%.
00:59
So almost 35% of the batters that come up to the plate don't even put the baseball in play.
01:03
You look at the lineup, you always like it because it's Arizona.
01:06
High weighted on base percentages all the way through.
01:08
But typically, the better pitcher wins out over the better hitting lineup.
01:11
For the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fault will be on the mound.
01:13
Left-handed batters giving him a little bit of issues here.
01:17
A 217 ISO and a 345 weighted on base percentage.
01:20
And you know, one of the best left-handed hitters in baseball.
01:22
Technically right now, not Joey Otani, but maybe Freddie Freeman.
01:26
77 at-bats against right-handed pitching.
01:27
How about a 403 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 521?
01:31
It's K-rate, only 14% and a walk rate above 10%.
01:34
That guy is on base or driving base runners in each and every day.
01:38
If you look at the FanDuel Sportsbook, maybe a 125, 120 price here on an RBI.
01:42
Always look towards Freddie Freeman because you know,
01:44
Otani's going to be on base.
01:45
Betts is going to be on base.
01:46
Freeman gets a base hit.
