00:00The fourth and final game in Atlanta between the Dodgers and

00:06the Braves of this now extended weekend set. Will the Dodgers

00:09be able to split? Can Atlanta take three or four against Los

00:13Angeles? A good pitching matchup on paper. Yoshi Yamamoto and

00:17the Dodgers, a slight road favorite against Max Freed and

00:21the Braves. Total at seven and a half. What do you like tonight

00:24in the ATL? Yeah, we take a look at Yamamoto coming back to the

00:28mound. Not a lot of extensive work just yet. So they're

00:31trying to sort of stretch him out, Ben, right? You want to

00:33get three to four innings in, then four to five in, then five

00:35to six. So, come playoff time, you'll be able to be a dominant

00:38starter and maybe we can get that but if we're looking at

00:40season-long numbers, Yamamoto's been fantastic. The one thing we

00:43know about the Atlanta Braves, sometimes their hitting can be

00:46questionable at best. They do line up decently against

00:49right-handed pitching but really the focus is going to be

00:51that lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers that by the way, last

00:5430 days against left-handed pitchers which Max Freed will

00:57be on the mound for. They've been sensational. Outside of

00:59Freddie Freeman who's a lefty, Miguel Rojas, everybody else

01:02been in that lineup for the past month. Positive ISO power

01:05number and positive weighted on base percentages here. But if

01:07you line up Max Freed, his last 30 days, 128 batters he's

01:11faced. How about a 127 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of

01:14291. He's been really good. So, for my money tonight, I think

01:18you're taking a look at the Dodger pitcher on the mound.

01:21Give me five to six innings there of quality baseball. I

01:24think Freed can hold down those Dodgers bats which I told you

01:26have been very good against left-handed pitching. I do

01:29think we stay under seven and a half. I don't think we get

01:31eight plus runs tonight in a playoff type atmosphere.
