00:00The Aces in place for the Friday opener between the Red Sox and the Braves inside Fenway Park.
00:06Garrett Crochet gets the nod for Boston.
00:09Chris Sale on the other side for Atlanta.
00:12Eight cents of difference now in the money line price with the Sox.
00:15A slight home favorite and the total stands at eight.
00:19Crochet versus Sale.
00:21Red Sox versus Braves.
00:23DRS, what do you like?
00:25It's a shame we don't have two tomato cans on the mound today
00:27because you'd love an over in Boston, 72 degrees, wind blowing out towards the green monster tonight.
00:32That typically says runs, but these pitchers say no runs here.
00:36You take a look at Garrett Crochet's 76 XFIT minus, which includes a 1.93 ERA.
00:42And then you take a look at Chris Sale, whose ERA is a little bit higher, but he's got a 79 XFIT minus.
00:46Once again, XFIT minus.
00:48You want to be as a pitcher, 100 or less.
00:50Both of these pitchers certainly above average this season based on those statistics here.
00:54You take a look at the left hand on the mound, Garrett Crochet.
00:56His numbers have been fantastic.
00:58Full year, 30 days.
01:00Take your pick.
01:00He's been dominant.
01:01And take a look at the Atlanta Braves lineup outside of Sean Murphy.
01:04The catcher has been terrible against left-handed pitching.
01:08You flip it over to the other side here with the Boston Red Sox.
01:11Much better against lefties than the Atlanta Braves, particularly over the past 30 days.
01:15But again, it is Chris Sale on the mound.
01:17I don't think we're going over that total.
01:20I go under that number, but also with a lean towards the Boston Red Sox winning this game.
01:24Better lineup against lefties here.
01:26And I think Crochet is going to hold the bats down for the Atlanta Braves.
