00:04 Continuing to move throughout this slate, Donny, we turn our attention to those Los
00:09 Angeles Angels as they are going to host the Cincinnati Reds.
00:12 A Reds team who's still trying to maintain some ground in that race for
00:17 the top of the NL Central and catch the Milwaukee Brewers.
00:20 They're gonna have to pull an upset here as they are a slight dog in LA.
00:23 >> Yeah, I don't know if they win the game or not, but I am focused on their
00:27 batters as opposed to being focused on, let's just say the pitching here for
00:30 the Reds or the opposite side on the Angels with their batters.
00:32 Lucas Giolito is gonna be on the mound, and
00:34 I'm just looking at weighted on base percentages here.
00:37 416, the lefties, 372 to righties, elevated numbers in ISO power numbers.
00:41 If we combine everything, which includes a few starts here for
00:44 the Angels over the past month, 118 batters at his face, Kevin, a 255 ISO.
00:48 That's elevated to 393, weighted on base percentage.
00:51 That's also elevated.
00:52 But let's take a look at what makes some sense here.
00:54 Usually if it's a right-handed pitcher, right?
00:56 You're probably gonna focus a little bit more on the left-handed batters.
00:59 And there's a couple of them that you probably wanna participate with tonight
01:02 for those Cincinnati Reds.
01:03 TJ Fridell, leadoff batter, 361, weighted on base percentage.
01:06 ISO 278, over 78 at bats over the past month against right-handed pitching.
01:11 If I'm looking for another left-handed batter,
01:12 that's gonna be the switch hitter.
01:13 Eli De La Cruz, a 314 ISO power number and a 363, weighted on base percentage.
01:19 Continue to slide it down.
01:20 The guy that I can't seem to catch lightning in a bottle with Will Benson
01:23 sometimes here, but he does have still really good numbers at the bottom of
01:27 that lineup and the reason why he's advantageous, and I don't recommend this.
01:31 And I don't do this.
01:32 There's never a time, Kevin, where I go to the sports book,
01:34 let's just say for fan, they'll be like, okay, who is the best numbers here?
01:37 That's the guys I'm going to pick.
01:38 But his name always pops up before I look at the numbers.
01:41 And typically, if you're not batting at 2345 and batting more 789,
01:45 you're gonna get like an extra dollar on that price.
01:48 Will Benson still seems to be a pretty good look,
01:50 but he hasn't cashed in for me yet.
01:52 We'll see if that happens tonight.
