00:00Next game, we'll take a look at a 210 start, 923, 924 on the rotation.

00:04It's the Athletics and it's the Brewers.

00:05It springs the lefty on the mound for the A's versus Henderson for the Milwaukee Brewers.

00:10This line opened up overnight as a slight favorite towards the Athletics.

00:14That's now flipped over.

00:15We're as high as a minus 135 price as a favorite towards the Brewers.

00:18And the total, which opened up at eight, Tom, still sits at eight today.

00:22Yeah, this is probably one of the more interesting games on the slate

00:26just because of what we get from the Athletics.

00:29It's like Springs is, let's just call it what it is.

00:31He's a pretty average pitcher.

00:32But Loken Henderson is making his MLD, MLC debut.

00:37And looking at some of his minor league numbers, he can strike out hitters really quick.

00:43However, that is a small sample size.

00:45Looking back at last year, seeing a 40% strikeout rate across the minor leagues

00:49at A, AA, AAA, wherever it might be.

00:51He has strikeouts in him.

00:52Now, the Athletics, as we've talked about, they're a fun lineup.

00:56Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson, they're also a great start on top of Rooker.

00:59And Rooker and Butler at the top of the lineup.

01:02They have power in the lineup, but they also have some swings and misses.

01:05So Logan Henderson is a bit of an unknown.

01:07If I side with anything, I may just take a shot on the Brewers' money line

01:11because I'll be willing to trust them and their offense coming through

01:13against what may be an equally bad or unproven pitcher in Springs.

01:17I would take the strikeouts with Henderson, essentially.

01:19Hopefully.
