00:00The Yanks, they wrote favorite once again in KC, minus 126.

00:04That price on the pinstripes total is nine.

00:08What do you like tonight in Kauffman?

00:10I'll tell you, yesterday, you take a look at Noah Cameron.

00:12Boy, man, he's spinning that baseball left-handed pitcher.

00:15See what he does against the Yankees.

00:16They hammered yesterday in Kansas City.

00:19Now, today, 85-degree temperatures here, wind blowing out to left field.

00:22You absolutely have to love that.

00:23But another pedigree lefty, or should I say even more of a pedigree lefty,

00:27in Chris Bubich.

00:27He's been nothing short of spectacular.

00:29His last month, Ben, 27 in the third innings pitch.

00:32How about an ERA of under one and a sparkling XFIP number of 2.88?

00:36He struggled a slight amount with left-handed batters,

00:39which waited on base percentage in ISO.

00:41But that's only through his last 11 batters on the season.

00:44He's been fine with left-handed pitching.

00:45But also, you're not going to get a ton of lefties in the lineup today,

00:48and the focus will be on the right-handed batters.

00:50If you just take a look at the last 30 days, Bubich has faced 90 right-handed batters.

00:55How about an 0-74 ISO against?

00:56How about a 1-98 weighted on base percentage?

00:59And a 30% K rate against those right-handed bats.

01:02Which, you know, Paul Goldschmidt and Aaron Judge all have high numbers here

01:05as right-handed batters against left-handed pitching over the past month.

01:08It's hard to say, after the Yankees smashing yesterday a decent left-handed pitcher,

01:12that why can't they just do it today?

01:14But I got to tell you, ebbs and flows, man.

01:16Probably looking at more of an under today.

01:17Because also, Clark Schmidt on the mound, his last 28-and-a-third innings pitched over the past month.

01:21How about a 3.53 XFIP number?

01:23Great hitting conditions, though, sometimes can overwhelm pitchers.

01:26I don't know, man.

01:27I think these pitchers hang around in this game, and maybe we do get an under.

01:29I think these pitchers hang in there.

01:30That's right.

01:30The 2.53 XFIP number?

01:30Well, zap-transputers hang in there.

01:31That's right.

01:31You're completely softer.

01:31Perfect.

01:31And other...

01:32All right.

01:33That's OK.
