00:02 >> Then you have the Astros, who for a lot of people, like yourself,
00:07 are the very best team in the American League.
00:10 Maybe the best team in baseball from a World Series value angle.
00:13 They're in third damn place in the division.
00:15 They're favorites, but the numbers are the numbers.
00:18 They are currently in third place in the American League West.
00:24 This division is stunning.
00:28 >> Yes, and also keep in mind, Seattle home for a series against who?
00:32 The Oakland Athletics.
00:33 So certainly, that huge streak should still stay hot at this point.
00:36 But let's take a look at the game today between the Houston Astros and
00:39 the Boston Red Sox.
00:40 Quite frankly, you might look at this and be like, wait a second.
00:42 Yeah, Boston should be favored in this game, and rightfully so.
00:45 Christian Javier will be on the mound, the right-handed pitcher here for
00:47 the Houston Astros.
00:49 Over his last month, Kevin, not good.
00:50 253 ISO, 380 weighted on base percentage.
00:54 Right-handed batters at 353 ISO and
00:57 a weighted on base percentage of 426.
00:59 Now, that might be a slight saving grace for him.
01:01 But even though he's not getting left-handed batters out at any great clip
01:05 either, but there's gonna be a lot of left-handed bats in that Red Sox lineup.
01:08 But also, let's take a look at what these bats have been doing damage with here
01:12 from the left and the right-hand side, Kevin.
01:13 Weighted on base percentages over the past month against righties.
01:16 Verdugo, 406.
01:17 Devers, 452.
01:18 Turner, 410.
01:19 Obrea, 579.
01:21 Reyes, 369.
01:22 And McGuire, 384.
01:24 The bats should come to play tonight.
01:25 And also for the opposite side, Chris Sale back on the mound.
01:28 He's got legitimate numbers against right-handed bats,
01:31 which he's gonna face a ton of.
01:32 Now granted, that Houston lineup here, everybody is doing damage against lefties.
01:37 Do we just take a flyer on this game?
01:39 I think we might get runs, even though Sale's been very good against righties.
01:42 That's a good lineup tonight.
01:43 Maybe an over is in play tonight, Kevin.
