00:00Aces in place for Detroit in San Diego.
00:04Now, Jack Flaherty is a great pitcher.
00:06Very much not the ace in Detroit.
00:08That is Tarek Skubal.
00:09Of course, the reigning American League Cy Young winner.
00:12Nick Pavetta been darn good as a Padre this year.
00:16Three and one record.
00:17The ERA, I believe, is sub, well, 157, but at least sub two.
00:22He is, in his four starts, not allowed a single earned run twice.
00:26But he's not the ace in San Diego either.
00:30Aces in place?
00:32Donnie, make sense of it, please.
00:34Yeah, let's see.
00:35We can extend the boundaries of what an ace actually is.
00:38Because if there's 30 pitchers on the court today,
00:40you actually have two top 10 ex-fit pitchers on the mound today.
00:44So you could say top 10 pitchers in Major League Baseball.
00:47Maybe they could be aces today.
00:48Pitching Pavetta's out there.
00:50There you go.
00:50Look, man.
00:51San Diego's got pitching Pavetta out there.
00:52Don't ever disrespect that guy because he came from the Philadelphia Phillies lineage here.
00:56He's actually had 23 innings pitch this year, Ben.
00:58How about a 1.57 ERA and a 3.11 ex-fit number?
01:02You take it to the lineup today for Detroit, which I liked immensely yesterday.
01:05There are some guys with high weighted on-base percentages here,
01:07but not enough power in my mind.
01:09I think Pavetta is going to be just fine on the mound today.
01:11By the way, temperatures in Detroit, 64 degrees, light winds blowing in from right field.
01:15So not really insignificant.
01:17You'll take that in Detroit at this time of the year.
01:19Jack Flaherty's on the mound, who you take a look at last year, was sensational.
01:22This year's through 21 and a third innings pitch, Ben.
01:24A 2.53 ERA and a 3.59.
01:27You look at the roster today for the Padres, which we usually like.
01:30This looks like a shell of its former self.
01:32Like, yes, you have Tatis, Machado, and Bogarts.
01:34But other than that, it's Gavin Sheets, Ornelas, Gonzalez, Iglesias, Wade, and Diaz.
01:40Doesn't seem like too much offense is coming today in the Motor City.
01:44Give me the under in this game as opposed to a side.
01:47I think both of these pitchers will do very well today.
