00:00D.R.S., a lot of interleague intrigue this weekend.

00:04Seven of our 15 weekend sets, nearly half, feature an interleague matchup

00:08that includes even in the same state.

00:10To Anaheim we go tonight.

00:12The Halos hosting the San Francisco Giants.

00:14Coming off a four-game midweek set in Philadelphia against the Phils.

00:18They split that four-game set, losing the finale yesterday.

00:22Logan Webb gets the start today for San Francisco in Southern California

00:26against the Halos, and the Giants are a road favorite.

00:30Total is eight.

00:31What's the play today in Anaheim?

00:33Yeah, starting to fall back here for the Angels at this point.

00:35And also, Logan Webb wasn't all that great in his last start, I believe,

00:37was against the New York Yankees, but they did win that game outright in the end

00:40with some pretty good offensive structure.

00:43Logan Webb on the mound comes in.

00:44Again, fantastic last year, fantastic again this year.

00:47But the key is going to be is when does that fall off start to happen for the Angels

00:50when you just take a look at the individual batters?

00:52Because against right-handed pitching, they still stack up really well,

00:55all up and down that roster.

00:57But now you're starting to see like that, okay,

00:58some of that lull is starting to hit them as a team at this point.

01:02You take a look at Tyler Anderson on the mound, who is a left-handed pitcher,

01:04which I always think is funny, where he's so good against right-handed bats

01:08and so bad against left-handed bats.

01:10But as you know, Major League Baseball, regardless of those statistics,

01:13the other team is not just going to stack left-handed batters

01:15against a left-handed pitcher.

01:17You take a look at Jung-Hoo Lee, who outside of one game in Philadelphia

01:19had a pretty good series and a really good start to the season.

01:22He's a lefty that's done really good damage against left-handed pitching.

01:25But as you go down the rest of that roster, it's all right-handed bats in that lineup.

01:30So from a prop perspective, it's probably Jung-Hoo Lee in the middle of that lineup.

01:33But you're still trying to give deference to the Angels starting to fall off.

01:36Can you just take San Francisco, better pitcher on the mound,

01:38and maybe the better lineup, probably the way to go?

01:40Let's go.
