00:00Yeah, let's go to a different route.

00:03Jack Kohanowitz, seven plus hits allowed at plus 180.

00:06Oh, yeah.

00:06And this is just like, normally Selmy's like, oh, maybe two RBIs, three RBIs,

00:10a couple extra total bases, blah, blah, blah.

00:11Jack Kohanowitz, seven plus hits allowed at plus 180.

00:15Going up against the Detroit Tigers, obviously no.

00:18Kohanowitz has not been good as of late.

00:20Nine, eight, six, five, six hits allowed in some of his recent starts.

00:24Again, we talked about this.

00:25He's not a big strikeout pitcher.

00:26He walks too many guys.

00:28The ball isn't played.

00:29The hard contact is all there.

00:30There is a scenario where he goes three innings and he gives up five earned runs

00:35over six hits with a couple of walks, sack flies, errors, wherever it might be,

00:39and he's out of the game just because it's five earned runs in three innings

00:42and he just doesn't have enough time to give up seven hits.

00:46That's the only way I see him losing.

00:47I don't see him losing because he goes six innings and gives up one earned run

00:51and is actually absolutely spectacular.

00:53The only way he gets pulled is because of it's early,

00:55but the hits will be there for the Tigers in a great matchup.

00:58It's like you want that slow bleed, right, Tom?

01:00Like, he can give up five runs.

01:02Give him up over five innings.

01:03Like, give him one in the first, one in the third, maybe two in the fourth,

01:06one in the fifth but gets out of it.

01:08His pitch count's still low, comes back out there,

01:10but all along giving up those hits as well.

01:11The ones you hate are like, he only went two-thirds of an inning

01:14and gave up six hits.

01:16It's like, oh, man, come on.

01:18Like, I just needed a few more, but he was so bad,

01:20he had to pull him from the baseball game.

01:21We've certainly seen that happen before, but Kwanowitz should get hit today, rightfully so.

01:25Not a strikeout pitcher, which means that ball's going to be in play.

01:27We'll see what happens.

01:28For me, I'm going to go down and also take the Philadelphia Phillies game and say,

01:31oh, Donnie's going with the Philadelphia Phillies batter or pitcher.

01:33No, he's not.

01:34It's going against him today.

01:35Do I think the Phillies win with Zach Wheeler?

01:36Probably so.

01:37But I have to be honest.

01:38You watch the Phillies game sometime, they do like to strike out.

01:41Patrick Corbin, resurgent this year in his career as a lefty.

01:44He's the last 30 days in Major League Baseball time.

01:46How about a 27% K rate for the lefty?

01:48If we look at the last five games, 6Ks, 6Ks, 7Ks, 6Ks, but then only 3Ks in his last start

01:56against the New York Yankees.

01:57The reason I like that too is he's rested.

01:59Only three innings pitched and 18 total batters in that game.

02:01He should go five plus innings.

02:03If I'm looking at the Philadelphia Phillies lineup today over the past 30 days against lefties

02:07here, Schwarber, 42% strikeout rate, Castellanos, 38%, Riomuto, 35%, Sosa, 35%, Kent, 32%, Harrison

02:17Bader, 35%.

02:18It's a lot of Ks in that lineup today.

02:20I need six.

02:21But also, if I wanted to give a play out to the people here and sell me something, same

02:25way as you, Tom, plus 180, we got to go plus money here.

02:28I went plus 112 to sort of up the ante just a little bit.

02:31I think there's a really good chance Corbin goes five innings and gets six strikeouts

02:34today and can cash in that plus 112 price.

02:37So there's some pitchers props today, Tom, for the plus for us today.

02:41Absolutely got to bank on a little bit of variance in, you know, good and bad ways for pitchers.
