00:00First of a four game set today in Milwaukee between the Brew Crew and the Reds at El

00:04Central Divisional Duel. And again, as we shared with Tom Becchio, Milwaukee and Nestor Cortez,

00:10ever so slight favorite, minus 118 on that money line. Total now stands at eight. How do you see

00:16this game playing out today in Milwaukee? It's kind of crazy. Look at Nestor Cortez. And again,

00:21a decent pitcher for the Yankees throughout his career, goes over to Milwaukee, plays the Yankees

00:24again in Yankee Stadium. Like, hey, he probably knows those guys, knows how to pitch in that

00:27environment. I think every single batter he faced hit a home run off him. Again, not a great start.

00:32You're expecting a bounce back in this, which I do lean towards the under, and here's the reason why.

00:36Nestor Cortez is a decent pitcher. Yes, he struggled against the Yankees. Different

00:39environment here. Roofs going to be closed in Milwaukee. Not a ton of carry, and not really

00:43a pitcher's or hitter's ballpark, per se, swaying either direction. But you just look at the Reds.

00:48Minimal at bats this year against left-handed pitching, so it is buyer beware. Matt McClain

00:52in the leadoff spot through four at bats is a 750 ISO, which means an extra base hit or two

00:57of those four bats. But the rest of the lineup, let me just read you the ISO power numbers this

01:01season, which, again, is inconsequential because of how many bats they've had. But as goes his

01:05follow-up bat, 0-0-0, 0-0, 0-0, and 0. So there you go. Good luck in that. Just give me the under

01:12to start the season. Cortez bounces back today.
