00:00Tonight, San Francisco sends out Robbie Ray against the Phillies.

00:04Total is eight.

00:06Can we expect another low-scoring affair by the Bay?

00:09If you're a contrarian player, you say,

00:11I'm just going to take the Phillies at a plus-132 price,

00:14I can't fault you for doing that.

00:15But that's just a contrarian look.

00:16But understanding how the Phillies operate on a day-to-day basis,

00:19a left-handed pitcher that usually gets strikeouts,

00:22that's just absolute kryptonite to the Philadelphia Phillies.

00:25You look at their lineup.

00:26Schwarber has been very good against lefties.

00:28Alec Boehm has been very good against lefties.

00:30Castellanos, a little bit of a power surge there.

00:32And then Edmund Sosa has been decent.

00:33The rest of that lineup doesn't do much at all.

00:36So I look at Robbie Ray's last 60 days in Major League Baseball,

00:39an 82 XFIP minus, above average, an ERA of 2.25, an XFIP of 3.30.

00:44Like, I love the Phillies.

00:45And they should be able to hit guys like Robbie Ray,

00:47but they just don't do that.

00:48It's the perfect pitcher's ballpark as well, as we know, out in San Francisco.

00:52And if we're looking at the temperatures, it's cool.

00:5464 degrees at first pitch at, you know, 645 out there on the West Coast.

00:58That'll dip down probably into the high 50s,

01:00normal wind blowing out the center field, as it always does.

01:03And it's not even a handicap against the Phillies.

01:04Like, Tywon Walker's not a good pitcher.

01:06That San Francisco Giants lineup isn't really a good hitting lineup,

01:09but let's just be honest.

01:10A left-handed pitcher that can get strike hits against the Phillies,

01:13checkmate San Francisco.

01:15Tywon Walker versus anybody.

01:16Checkmate anybody versus Tywon Walker.

01:19That's the way I see it.

01:20I don't know if I want to lay the price, but to be honest,

01:22I just don't think runs are coming from the Phillies' side,

01:25unless we're getting a 7-2 finish, which gives you the over,

01:28because San Francisco hammered Tywon Walker.

01:31I love the under.

01:32It was floating around eight at multiple books today.

01:34You see the seven and a half.

01:35If you can get eight, which means nine it takes to beat you,

01:38that ain't happening.

01:39That's not happening tonight.
