00:00Let's focus first on Camden Yards. The Orioles and the Red Sox, a divisional duel between Boston

00:06and Baltimore and a pretty good pitching matchup. Oh, and Uncle Chuck, Charlie Morton for the O's,

00:11take it on Tanner Houck on the other side for the Sox. How do you break down the matchup?

00:17There could be some offense. It's like 75 degrees. There's about 14 miles per hour wind

00:20blowing out. So this could spell some shorter pitching matchup. So I like Charlie Morton

00:25under five and a half strikeouts. You know, Boston, they're striking out, or at least,

00:29Rafi Devers is striking a lot. So striking out a lot to start the season. I don't want to look

00:33at just the season. If we include last year, 2024, so the first few games of this year with

00:38their current active roster versus righties last year, it was a 23, it's a 23% strikeout versus

00:43right. It's like, that's not dramatic. Like it's below the league average. It's not amazing,

00:47but it's not terrible. We're not talking about 28% here. So Morton is a pitcher that is never

00:52going to be pumping that 28% strike, right? It was 23.8% last year. Plus the weather,

00:56this could be a short outing for Charlie Morton. So give me under five and a half strikeouts at

01:00minus 102. Love it.
