00:00Today, it's one of Donnie's favorites, pitching Nick Pravetta on the bump in Philadelphia.
00:04But Christopher Sanchez on the other side for the Titans, minus 162.
00:09That home money line price in favor of Philly.
00:12In Philly, total is eight and a half.
00:15Will the Phillies make it two straight against San Diego here to start off this midweek set?
00:20Yes, they will.
00:20They're going to win this game again.
00:21Like them yesterday, run line minus one and a half.
00:23Just got burned a little bit on that team.
00:24Total over four and a half.
00:25They scored four runs, had the three-run home run taken away.
00:28But they had the four runs by the fifth inning.
00:30So again, six, seventh, and eighth innings.
00:31No runs there, but a victory still for the Philadelphia Phillies.
00:34Let's understand something again.
00:36The Phillies, every single day, they are better than your rotation.
00:40And that includes Christopher Sanchez, who will be on the mound today.
00:42His last 45 days been in Major League Baseball.
00:45How about an X-fit minus number of 71?
00:47It's stellar.
00:47That's second best on the card today.
00:49An ERA over the past 45 days, 2.68.
00:52An X-whip of 2.83.
00:54Nothing short of spectacular.
00:55And let's look at the optics here of how he got to those numbers.
00:58His last 133 batters that he's faced.
01:02How about a walk percentage of only 4.5%.
01:04How about an ISO power number of 0.64?
01:07A weighted on base percentage of 233 and a K rate of 25%.
01:11He's been spectacular this entire season.
01:13Louie Rice, Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill.
01:15Plus batters with weighted on base percentage against left-handed pitching.
01:18The rest of that lineup is terrible.
01:20Now flip it over to the Phillies, because we do like what Pavetta has done.
01:23And on the card today, Ben, over the past 45 days, he does come in 7th on the card.
01:27An 83 X-fip minus.
01:29A 3.66 ERA to go with a 3.33 X-fip number.
01:34You look at the lineup today.
01:35It's better for the Phillies than it is for the Padres.
01:37So understand this.
01:38Better lineup for the Phillies.
01:39Better pitcher on the mound.
01:40Even though Pavetta is a good one, Sanchez is better.
01:43You see that 8.5 total?
01:44It's 81 degrees with the wind blowing out.
01:46And maybe the San Diego Bats wake up.
01:48But you saw what you saw last night.
01:504-0 final.
01:51I'm not saying 4-0 tonight.
01:53But I don't think we get nine runs.
01:55So I do think the Phillies win.
01:56It's a higher price.
01:57But I don't think we get the nine runs regardless if the Phillies win or not.
02:00I'm taking the under in Philadelphia.
