00:00 elsewhere DRS maybe the most significant game on the Major League Baseball card
00:04 of the day happens in Wrigley Field between the Cubs and the Pirates.
00:09 Chicago won the first game snapping a five-game skid by scoring 14 runs. Then
00:14 it was the Buccos putting up north of 10-13 yesterday in a 13 to 7 win for
00:20 Pittsburgh against Justin Steele DRS one of the National League Cy Young
00:25 contenders the best pitcher on the staff for Chicago he allowed six earned against
00:30 the Pittsburgh Pirates and I believe only three innings of work the Cubby's a
00:34 big favorite at home today what can they do DRS to find that bounce back spot?
00:39 Yeah I was pumping up Steel yesterday man that should have been a walk in the park
00:43 yesterday he actually gets routed and so do the Cubs which is bad news for
00:46 them however here's where we take a look at what have you done for me lately
00:49 versus the analytics here take a look at Johan Oviedo on the mound today for the
00:53 Pittsburgh Pirates a hundred and sixteen batters over the past 30 days he's faced
00:57 an ISO power number 090 weighted on base percentage 303 but if we're taking a
01:03 look at the past seven weeks in Major League Baseball with a minimum of 20
01:06 innings pitch there are 17 players that have done that I should I say pitchers
01:10 here you know 16th Johan Oviedo ERA a 3.47 very manageable but his exit
01:16 number a 5.33 which means not a lot of strikeouts and putting the baseball in
01:20 the air which is never a good thing at Wrigley this should be a bounce back
01:24 performance out of the Cubs having said that their lineup isn't stacked with
01:27 green lights as I like to say going up against right-handed pitching over the
01:31 past month however if you do need a win this should be a spot you get that win
01:35 for the Chicago Cubs
