00:00
DRS a rubber match between NLS foes today this afternoon in San Francisco the Giants and the
00:07
D-backs Arizona won the opener on Monday the Giants respond last night in a high scoring affair
00:13
basically a pick-em for the series finale and the rubber match this week minus 112 now though the
00:20
updated money line price on San Francisco total on the rise ever so slightly at eight and a half
00:27
who wins this game who wins this series tonight by the back the the afternoon game out there Ben 1245
00:34
starts so you won't really get those shadows in maybe a little bit warmer temperatures that you
00:37
would have normally at night which is a nice thing to have but understand this though Jordan Hicks is
00:41
11th on the card today at a 31 pitchers with his X fit minus number at 89 which is really good but
00:47
here's the correlation sometimes that people can't wrap their head around wait a minute you're telling
00:50
me Jordan Hicks having a good season with a 5.82 ERA just means he's getting a little bit unlucky at
00:56
this point his metrics are very good waiting on base percentage and iso power numbers things just
01:00
aren't working on his favor but as I said you're lining up right-handed pitching you're going up
01:03
against a lineup that can really detonate right-handed pitching with a lot of left-handed bats that's
01:08
certainly the Arizona Diamondbacks at this point first six guys in the lineup today all elevated isos
01:13
against righties we'll see how that one plays out because I just told you you have a very good season
01:17
so far for Jordan Hicks not ERA wise but strikeout wise and also not giving a lot of free passes and
01:22
keeping the ball on the ground you focus on San Francisco with the water Rodriguez not a great
01:26
pitcher last 30 days hammered as a left-handed pitcher both lefty and righty batters however
01:31
when you take a look at Eduardo Rodriguez you see his 92 exit minus look at his ERA 6.86 if you're
01:38
just looking ERA and you look at that total like what gets here they probably should get 15 total
01:42
runs in this game not so fast these pitchers are now in a true pitching environment and understand this
01:47
they're getting a little bit unlucky to start the season maybe that balances out today in the afternoon
