00:00We go late night to Arizona out in the desert. What a matchup we
00:07have between the Dodgers and the D-backs. It's Zach Gallin on
00:10one side for Arizona. It's Clayton Kershaw on the other
00:14for LA. Minus 134 is the money line price in favor of the
00:19Dodgers. Eight and a half is that total. Kershaw last year
00:23made one playoff start for LA. Got absolutely rocked by these
00:29D-backs, hoping for better tonight in downtown Phoenix.
00:33You're probably just looking at this line saying, okay, it's
00:35Kershaw, that name picture out there. The Dodgers, technically
00:38a better team, but I don't know if the Dodgers can run up that
00:40starting lineup they did yesterday and expect to get a
00:42victory in Arizona today against Zach Gallin. Also, keep in
00:45mind, Zach Gallin not having a great 60 days here in Major
00:48League Baseball. He used to being much more dominant in the
00:51past. We look at his last 60 days, 52 and a third innings
00:54pitched at 4.64 ERA and that equates to an x-fifth of 4.37.
00:59Not the greatest in the world, but if we're looking at that
01:01Dodgers lineup, the anticipated lineup tonight does look much
01:05better, Ben, than it did last night. Ohtani, Betts, Freeman,
01:07Hernandez, Lux, Smith, Muncie, Edmond, and Rojas, as opposed
01:11to having Tommy Edmond in your cleanup spot, he drops to his
01:14rightful place in the eighth hole tonight, and that's what
01:17we're anticipating that should help. Zach Gallin does have
01:19some pretty clean splits, especially against right-handed
01:22fighters over the past 30 days. His last 50 batters he's faced
01:25on the right side, Ben, 0-64 ISO and a 260 weighted on base
01:29percentage, but Zach Gallin is going to be the key to this
01:31game. I think he has a good performance. I would be willing
01:34based on that starting lineup, if with that plus 106, plus
01:38110, let's just say, by the time we get to game time, I think
01:40might be in the fold for Arizona. Kershaw, solid last 30
01:44days. Let's see if he can continue it, but I always like
01:46to nod to home teams here. I'll go with the D-backs as a slight
01:49dog price tonight, where Gallin gets the best of Clayton Kershaw.
