00:00
the highest priced man in athletics franchise history who has not lived up to that paycheck
00:07
DRS that is Luis Severino who hates Sacramento the opposite of a sack town guy he gets the start
00:14
today against one of the best teams in baseball as of late the Toronto Blue Jays Max Scherzer
00:19
makes the start today for Toronto minus 162 the price in favor of the Jays on the road against
00:26
Seve and the athletics that total now 11 we are expecting some runs tonight in California's
00:34
capital what are we going to see let me tell you something here Luis Severino if we take a look at
00:40
the card today 31 pitchers on there Luis Severino is 31st Luis Severino is a 130 XFIP minus Luis
00:47
Severino is a 6.71 ERA and Luis Severino is a 5.33 XFIP number over the past 60 days let's take a look
00:54
at his last 30 days 123 batters that he's faced if we combine left-handed batters and right-handed
00:58
batters that's a 229 ISO which is elevated that's a 392 weighted on base percentage which is elevated
01:04
a K rate of 10 percent so if you're giving up hard contact and you're not striking anybody out
01:11
you're going to be in trouble but sometimes Ben you can skirt those rules like hey man
01:15
whoo Chicago White Sox are in town we get a little bit of a breather that is not the case Toronto let
01:21
me just read you the weighted on base percentages over the anticipated starting nine tonight from
01:26
Toronto's side 363 501 367 336 410 333 403 374 and then a low point with Ernie Clement at 280 so that
01:38
means eight plus batters out of nine in a hitting environment that will be 90 degrees once again at
01:43
first pitch going up against one of the worst pitchers in the league specifically in the environment
01:48
where he hates pitching at home so psychologically it's already in his head am I saying that means
01:53
automatic six runs that you can just count on because that's what you're going to need but if
01:57
you need a parlay piece if you need let's just say it all team total if you need some RBI props if you
02:03
need some base hits Toronto is your team tonight Ben the Jays did have their 10 game win streak
02:11
snapped in their finale on Wednesday against the White Sox in Chicago the Jays have still been lights
02:17
out they have won 13 of their last 16 that offense is spiking at the right time and the Blue Jays
02:23
still maintain a two and a half game lead in the American League East now Luis Severino has been
02:29
very public about his disdain of pitching in the AAA ballpark in Sacramento his stats overall this year
02:35
a 530 ERA a 2-10 record but DRS at home in Sactown he is 0-8 and 11 starts with a 704 ERA and one of my
02:49
favorite things about this entire conversation Severino gets the billing the highest paid player
02:55
in the history of the athletics it is a three-year 67 million dollar deal we're talking half billion
03:02
dollar contracts now in baseball Juan Soto signed for 765 mil in three years 67 million for Severino
03:12
is the richest to ever do it for the A's
