00:00Now, let's go to a matchup and a midweek series that features
00:06two teams in the thick of wild card contention in their
00:09respective leagues. The Twins and the American League. The
00:13Mets in that very contested and tight race in NL wild card
00:18contention. The Amazons, a slight favorite at home today
00:21inside Citi Field minus one twenty-four. Total eight and a
00:24half yesterday, the Mets scored fifteen runs to win fifteen to
00:28two in the opener. Does the offense continue on this
00:31Tuesday evening at Citi Field? They should score again talking
00:36about the Mets but let's focus on the pitching matchup here to
00:38start. Mania, the left-handed pitcher is going to be on the
00:40mound for the New York Mets. Past 30 days, 124 bat as he's
00:43faced a 165 iso. Very manageable. How about a weighted
00:46on base percentage of 302? Very manageable. You also take a look
00:49at that Twins lineup that I do like but Gaines left-handed
00:53pitching, I don't like all that much. You take a look at Royce
00:55Lewis, Carlos Santana, and Christian Vasquez. Everybody
00:58else really struggling against left-handed pitching. Now,
01:02let's go over to the Grimace Mets at this point. They've
01:04been having quite some fun here at the plate as of late and
01:07also, David Festa on the mound. Forty-three batters faced over
01:10the past 30 days. Check out these numbers, Ben. Iso power
01:14number against. Four sixty-three. Weighted on base
01:17percentage against. Four seventy-four. The New York
01:21Metropolitans again in the win column tonight for me, Ben.
