00:00Fitz versus Woods Richardson tonight, 965-966 rotation, number 740 start.

00:06A favorite here for Minnesota overnight, around a minus 125 price.

00:09As you see the graphic, we're roughly around a pick-em right now,

00:11but a total that still stands strong at nine and a half.

00:14If we look at Woods Richardson, I'll tell you about this, Joe,

00:16when you're handicapping this game, Fitz and Richardson.

00:19Analytically, we'll start here first.

00:21Richard Fitz, a 3.46 XF number, which is good, through only 17 innings.

00:26Fitz, Simeon Woods Richardson is at a 5.28, which is horrendous.

00:30That's last on the card today through 38 in the third innings.

00:33If you like ERA, how about this, though?

00:35Fitz is at a 7.41, and Woods Richardson is at a 3.29.

00:40Analytics versus the eyeball test tonight, toe-to-toe in Minnesota, Joe.

00:45Well, is Byron Buxton playing for Minnesota?

00:50Because I do believe he had a MRI.

00:52He has some issue, I guess, with cartilage or rib cartilage or abdomen.

00:58I believe it came back negative.

01:00But, yeah, shocker, Buxton heading back to maybe the IL here.

01:06Let's hope not.

01:07But I don't see any way in the world that you can actually look to back this Minnesota lineup here.

01:15I mean, they were awful against the Nats over the weekend here, and just very little confidence.

01:22Another one of those teams that's sitting under .500, while, yes, they're still technically in the wild card race.

01:29Anybody really think that bullpen is not for sale right now?

01:32Because that's all we keep hearing, Donnie.

01:34Questions, questions, and questions.

01:36Don't trust Minnesota.

01:37Yeah, I didn't ask you.

01:39I'll take care.
