00:00Even in Toronto, our friends north of the border, Tom,

00:03that roof is going to be opening close to 90-degree temperatures up there in the 6.

00:08If we take a look at the Chicago White Sox taking on the Toronto Blue Jays,

00:11965, 966 on the rotation of 137 start.

00:15Hauser's going to be on the mound versus Bassett.

00:17This number, overnight, minus $2 or higher at most outlets here.

00:21Still sitting there today, minus 205s, minus 210s, minus 218s in the marketplace.

00:25A total, which was 9 overnight, still sits at 9 today.

00:29Hey, Hauser versus Bassett, hot conditions in Canada?

00:33Oh, we'd love to see that.

00:34We'd love to see it.

00:35And I've got to say, the White Sox have been kind of pesky as of late,

00:39like coming away with wins.

00:41They're getting some offense going in.

00:43I honestly, and this is something that, Donnie, we've talked about before.

00:46We don't necessarily share our plays prior to the show.

00:49We like to come in kind of blind.

00:51Two weeks in a row now on the Selmy segment, you have gone with White Sox players.

00:55I don't know if you have a White Sox player picked today for the Selmy segment.

00:58Not today.

00:59But, okay, not today.

01:01But you look at this lineup against Bassett, like Ben Intendi, Vargas, Tachman, your guy.

01:06Like, they have some isos that are sitting at like 178, 180 or higher versus Bassett,

01:11who is in the midst of a good season.

01:13There's no doubt about it.

01:14And granted, Chris Bassett is not a pitcher that I've loved.

01:16But a .357 extra is pretty darn good for a pitcher that doesn't necessarily have a super high strike rate at 22.3%.

01:22Walker is at 5.4%.

01:24I think the money line is a bit much for the Blue Jays, considering how good the White Sox have been playing.

01:30But on the other side, Adrian Hauser, just a gas can of a pitcher.

01:3418.8% strikeout rate.

01:368.5% walk rate.

01:37Home runs necessarily aren't there.

01:39But, man, this Blue Jays offense has been pretty darn solid as late since May 22nd.

01:43Barger, .333 ISO.

01:45Springer, .317.

01:47Kirk at .246.

01:49Bobashek, .232.

01:50And Vladdy Guerrero at .195.

01:53I think we see some offense from the Blue Jays today.
