00:00So the Yanks, a home favorite, minus 152 against Cole Reagans
00:05and the Royals. Reagans out-dueled Corbin Burns a week
00:09ago in Baltimore. DRS, will Casey even the set? Will New
00:13York take a commanding 2-0 series lead back to Coffman
00:16Field?
00:17Gonna have to take a little bit of a leap of faith here on the
00:19Royals. I'm going to tell you why. But before we get there,
00:21Reagans, last 60 days, 52 and a third innings pitch here. You
00:26take a look at Rodon, 49 and a third innings pitch. Very
00:28similar ERAs. 2.58 here for Reagans, 2.92 for Carlos Rodon.
00:33Ex-FIP numbers, similar also. So what's going to give here in
00:36the rotation? Carlos Rodon's a left-handed pitcher, Ben. Last
00:3995 batters he's faced in totality, 77 of those have been
00:42right-handed batters. Check this out. A .250 ISO and a weighted
00:45on base percentage of .357. So then you perk up and say the
00:48only lefty in this lineup is probably going to be the
00:50passwatch, Vinny Pasquantino. But if we remove him from the
00:54equation, which he hasn't actually had too many at-bats
00:57against left-handed pitching because he was injured, the rest
00:59of that lineup outside of Hunter Renfro, zero, zero, zero,
01:03zero, zero, zero, and zero. That's the ISO power numbers
01:08against left-handed pitching for the Royals over the past month.
01:10Come on now. So the leap of faith is Rodon's going to get
01:13hit because he can't get out right-handed batters, but the
01:16Royals right-handed batters can't hit left-handed pitching.
01:19Go Royals.
