00:00We've got 10 games today on this Thursday around Major League Baseball

00:06with four of them in the afternoon hours including in Atlanta the third and

00:11final game between the Braves and the Brew Crew. The Brewers looking for a

00:14series sweep over the Atlanta Braves but the Braves are booked as a home favorite

00:20at minus 130. Total checks in at 9. Will Milwaukee sweep or will Atlanta snap

00:26this four-game skid? How about this too? You take a look at Hotlanta down there

00:3090 degrees bend at first pitch 10 mile an hour winds blowing out so we should

00:33see some runs and also some pitchers that could be susceptible. Take a look

00:36at Charlie Morton on the season right-handed pitcher struggling with

00:39right-handed batters. You should get some decent at-bats there from Milwaukee

00:42but let's focus here on Atlanta. Frankie Montas is gonna be on the mound. From a

00:46perspective of the season long he's really struggled as a right-handed

00:50pitcher against left-handed batters. I mean they're getting the best level. Last

00:5330 days Ben 53 at-bats against lefties a 277 ISO and a weighted on base

00:57percentage of 444 but when you look at that lineup today Matt Olsen 200 ISO

01:02power number which is decent but a 291 weighted on base percentage not that

01:05great. Jared Kelenic is gonna lead off. He's got bad numbers against right-handed

01:08pitching over the past 30 days. Everybody else in that lineup is gonna

01:12be a right-handed batter so theoretically you should be able to

01:15really hit Montas. Just throw a lot of lefties out there. They're not doing that

01:18in the lineup today for the Braves so maybe once again advantage towards

01:22Milwaukee. Keep on picking on a team when they're down which is the Atlanta

01:25Braves. Having said that typically we don't like to go over in Atlanta Braves

01:29ballgames. I think you might have to. That weather dictates it man. That ball

01:32should be traveling today down there in the Big A.
