00:00Now we go to the Trump where the Rays on a four-game skid. The Royals red-hot.
00:08KC has won six straight with a day off. Entering today in Tampa in the Royals
00:13with Seth Lugo who has also been great for Kansas City this year. A slight road
00:18favorite. What do you make of the matchup today in the Trump? By the way Seth Lugo
00:23is the better pitcher on the mound and quite frankly you hit that there. 258
00:27batters he's faced on the season. A 137 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of
00:30269. He's been even better over the past 30 days and when you take a look at that
00:34Tampa Bay Rays lineup which over the past couple years has been quality
00:37against right-handed pitching for the past 30 days. They've been an absolute
00:41disaster. So you do get a little bit of a thumb up here for the Kansas City Royals
00:45on that edge. But let's take a look at Sean Armstrong due to be on the mound
00:48today for Tampa. You look at his last 30 days. It's been abysmal against
00:53left-handed batters people. And you're talking about the Kansas City Royals. It's
00:57a couple left-handed batters that we typically like. However let's take a set
01:01aside our fandom for the pass watch Vinny P. Vinny Pasquantino. Over the last
01:0530 days 81 at-bats against right-handed pitching hasn't been all that good. A 118
01:09ISO and a 263 weighted on base percentage. But you know the other
01:12left-handed batter I love in that lineup. It's Michael Massey. 70 at-bats
01:16how about this a 239 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 368. He will
01:21definitely make my card for an RBI opportunity. But sometimes we talk about
01:24just the opportunity with players on base. If you look at Vinny P we don't
01:28actually need a base hit to get an RBI. Why? Michael Garcia Bobby Witt 336 383
01:34weighted on base percentages. Those guys should be on the pond by the time Vinny
01:38P gets up. So maybe an opportunity. But my best one it's Michael Massey and quite
01:42frankly I would just lay it with the Kansas City Royals tonight. They're the
01:45better ball club.
