SportsTranscript
00:00 Chicago won yesterday in extras out in the desert against the
00:07 Diamondbacks. It was Nico Horner, the game-winning RBI in
00:10 extra innings. Today though, Arizona, slight home money line
00:13 favorite minus 126. Total at ten off or ten and a half,
00:18 excuse me, offense expected and on the rise. Will we see it
00:22 today out in the desert? Yeah, we're getting in the desert
00:25 today and here's the reason why. Kyle Hendricks, usually
00:27 one of those veteran guys you like to try to work around.
00:29 He's been brutal this year, Ben. 66 total batters he's
00:32 facing. ISO power number combining. Lefty and righty
00:34 batters at a 355. Weighted on base percentage at a 524. That
00:38 is a disaster. First five guys in that lineup today for the
00:41 Diamondbacks should be able to tee off. That's Carroll, Marte,
00:44 Gurriel, Walker, and Peterson. All should be legitimate options
00:48 on your card tonight if you're searching out RBI props. Flip
00:50 it over to the other side. Tommy Henry, the lefty is gonna go
00:53 for the Arizona Diamondbacks. 68 batters he's faced on the
00:56 season, Ben. Combined, a 200 ISO power number which is
00:59 elevated. A weighted on base percentage of 361 which is
01:02 elevated. You look at the first four batters in that lineup
01:05 today for the Cubs. That's Horner, Swanson, Mellinger,
01:08 and Morrill. 335, 358, 416, and 377 respectively for weighted
01:13 on base percentages. Two pitchers that I believe will
01:15 struggle tonight. So, I'm looking for a lot of runs and a
01:18 lot of RBI opportunities out in the desert tonight.
01:22 (upbeat music)
