00:00A day off for the Phil's yesterday. Now back at home starting off a new series at the bank

00:08this week. Ranger Suarez on the bump for Philadelphia. They're booked as a heavy

00:12minus 172 home money line favorite with a total of eight and a half. DRS, you know this well.

00:18The Phillies have not lost a series since early April, the second of their year against Cincinnati.

00:24Will that trend continue into the midweek set against Texas?

00:28It probably will continue because the Phillies just keep on sending out good pitcher after good

00:32pitch here and they're at home and finally a day of rest after playing such a long streak

00:35of back-to-back games. So let's take a look at this one which is kind of a shame. We just talked

00:39about the game in Wrigley. Winds blowing out optimum conditions but two good pitchers on the

00:44mound and not great matchups if you're just looking from pitcher to hitter. We're getting

00:48that same type of thing today Ben in Philadelphia. 80 degrees at first pitch with nine mile an hour

00:52winds blowing out to right field. This should be perfect because that Phillies lineup loves

00:56to absolutely hammer the baseball at home. We take a look at John Gray who's a right-handed

00:59pitcher. Look at his last 30 days Ben. 127 batters he's faced, an 074 iso and a 251

01:06weighted on base percentage. That stinks because why? We would have loved to picked on some

01:10Philadelphia Phillies bats. Same thing vice versa on that Rangers lineup that hasn't done all that

01:14well against left-handed pitching. Maybe going up against the best pitcher in baseball and Ranger

01:17Suarez who was damn near being unhittable for the season and the past 30 days. To shame the waste

01:22this environment in that ballpark to get wind blowing on 80 80 excuse me 80 degrees and eight

01:28mile an hour winds blowing out. That's a shame right here. So I am predicting an under but you

01:32know I'm not betting that. This game could pop off but it's a shame that these two pitchers

01:36really match up well.
