00:03 >> D-backs this year, three games below 500.
00:06 The Dodgers the only team in the NL West with a winning record at this moment,
00:10 expected to add on slight road favor today.
00:13 Ten is the total, runs expected out in the desert.
00:17 >> Could be sneaky here for the Arizona Diamondbacks at the plate.
00:20 The reason why I bring that up is we're looking at weight on base percentage
00:23 out of the nine batters tonight.
00:24 Only two of those, which is Gabriel Moreno at a 289 and Kevin Newman at a 263,
00:29 have that low weighted on base percentage.
00:31 Everybody else is at least a 325 or higher, which bodes well.
00:34 But Paxton hasn't been all that bad.
00:36 89 batters he's faced, man, a 111 iso and a 318 weighted on base percentage.
00:40 So you say to yourself, he should be able to keep these bats down.
00:43 Now, we take a look at that Dodgers lineup.
00:45 We're doing a night-to-night basis, always looks absolutely fantastic.
00:48 Now, if we're trying to focus in on Tommy Henry, he's a bad pitcher.
00:52 114 batters he's faced this year, Ben, a 235 iso and a 384 weighted on base percentage combined.
00:58 He's one of those pitchers that gives up from the left side and also the right side.
01:01 But if we're factoring in here, left-handed pitching against the Dodgers this year,
01:05 there's only a couple guys in that lineup today that should be able to do damage.
01:08 Mookie Batts, 46 at-bats against the lefties.
01:10 He's got a 244 iso and a 449 weighted on base percentage.
01:14 That's a guy that should be on your list.
01:15 Will Smith in the four-hole today, 185 iso power, number 507 weighted on base percentage.
01:20 And then to Oscar Hernandez, 294 iso coupled with a 363 weighted on base percentage.
01:25 Now, you're missing out on a couple guys, but Tommy Henry's a lefty and still gets bashed by left-handed batters.
01:30 You look at Shohei Otani and Freddie Freeman in the middle of that lineup.
01:33 They haven't been that good against lefties, Ben.
01:35 A 133 iso for Otani and an 024 for Freddie Freeman.
01:39 So, your RBI shots are going to come from Mookie Batts, Will Smith, and Tosker Hernandez for those Los Angeles Dodgers tonight.
