00:00Speaking of avoiding a sweep,

00:01that's what the Mariners are hoping to do today

00:03in the Bronx against the Yankees.

00:05Marcus Stroman back on the bump for the pinstripes.

00:09It is a dead even pick-em right here, right now, DRS.

00:12Minus 108 on both sides.

00:14The Yanks minus 108.

00:16The Mariners sending out Brian Wu.

00:17Also minus 108.

00:19What happens in this series finale tonight up at Yankee Stadium?

00:24Yeah, Derek Carter was on us earlier today,

00:26and he had the same feeling I do.

00:28Brian Wu's a better pitcher here than Marcus Stroman.

00:30That's usually where you win the battle.

00:31Specifically, if you just have a line, that's roughly a pick-em.

00:3478-degree temperatures in the Bronx today.

00:36More of a crosswind from right foul pole to left foul pole.

00:38I do like the lineup that the Yankees have out there today,

00:41but you're looking at Wu's last 60 days.

00:43An 84 X-fit minus, a 2.43 ERA, and a 3.47 X-fit number.

00:48That is very solid.

00:49Stroman, really a mixed bag trying to fight his way back into Major League Baseball.

00:53I do lean with the Mariners today because I like the pitching matchup better

00:56on the Mariners' side than I do the Yankees.

00:59Yeah, when you look at it, DRS, you saw the minus 120 initially for Brian Wu and Seattle.

01:04Stroman should provide a help to this Yankees starting staff,

01:08but I think it's a good look taking a gander at the Ams to avoid the sweep today

01:12up in Yankee Stadium.

01:14By the way, Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh both hit a home run

01:17in the opening game of this set on Tuesday night.

01:20Neither a home run yesterday.

01:22Aaron Judge, a couple of RBIs, courtesy of a double.

01:25It was Jazz Chisholm hitting two home runs for the Yanks yesterday, plus 164.

01:31The price on Aaron Judge to hit a long ball, plus 176.

01:35The price on Cal Raleigh to hit a home run.

01:38Jazz Chisholm at plus 330.

01:41DRS, the Miami Marlins, saw their franchise record 11-game road-winning streak

01:46come to a close yesterday in Cincinnati.

01:49Now they're trying to pick up yet another road win

01:51to end out their four-game midweek set against Cincy.

01:54When you take a look at these, Oz, the Reds, a home favorite at the Great American Ballpark.

01:59What do you like?

02:01I got to tell you, maybe runs in this game.

02:03You see the nine and a half, no surprise.

02:04You need 10 runs here in Great American Ballpark, and I certainly think they can get that.

02:08You take a look at Nick Lodolo.

02:09He actually comes in with good statistics.

02:11A 91 XFIP minus, an ERA of under four, and a 3.68 XFIP number.

02:15But he is a left-handed pitcher.

02:16If you look at the players that get a hold of him, they're the right-handed batters.

02:20His last 77 right-handed batters that he faced, even though there's a high K rate and a low

02:24walk rate, a 300 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 381.

02:27The expectations for every batter in the lineup today to be from the right-hand side, that's

02:32for the Marlins today.

02:33So maybe you have a plus advantage there.

02:35One of those guys I always love to fade, Cal Quantrill.

02:37Come on now.

02:38You take a look at that Reds lineup.

02:39They should be able to hit him.

02:40We might be able to get some runs at dinnertime in Cincinnati today, Ben.

02:43The finale of a four-game set.

02:46The Marlins took the first two.

02:48I need my Reds to get the 80 wins.

02:51They've got 47 right now.
