00:00Cleveland looking for a series sweep at home over the Chicago Cubs. The Guardians and the Cubbies

00:06in the third and final game of their set. When you look at the numbers for today,

00:11Cleveland a minus 142. Moneyline, favorite line working in their favor. Eight and a half

00:16is that total. Will it be a perfect three for three for the Guardians or can the Cubs

00:22scratch out a victory in the land? Yeah, it might be a toss-up here at this point. You got

00:26Jamison Tyone on the mound. You're going to take on Alex Cobb. Alex Cobb's only had 21 batters

00:30had his face, so not a large sample size to try to dip into. But if we are looking at the opposite

00:35side with Jamison Tyone, I think we might have some opportunities for some RBI chances for the

00:39Cleveland Guardians. If we're looking at Tyone's numbers over the past 60 days, they're not bad

00:43bad. 96 XFIP minus, right around average. ERA under four, decent XFIP and Sierra numbers. But

00:49the middle of that lineup, Jose Ramirez, Josh Naylor, both batting from the left-hand side.

00:54Why is that the problem against Tyone? His last 46 batters he's faced from the left side. How

00:58about this? An ISO of 333 and a weighted on base percentage of 438 against. Ramirez and Naylor in

01:05the middle of that lineup, a toss-up game. I think at least one of those two guys can get an RBI,

01:09which will put you into the plus money.
