00:00The best hitting environment of the day? It's by far in Colorado. It's 80-degree temperatures.

00:05It's double-digit winds blowing dead out to center field. And let's get to that game right

00:09now. 3 o'clock start, 9.55, 9.56 on the rotation. Cincinnati and Colorado, Lodolo the lefty on the

00:15mound versus the right-handed pitcher Feltner for the Rockies. Total opened up at 10.5. Yeah,

00:19people saw the conditions. That's at 11 across the board. A favorite here for Cincinnati,

00:24which opened up overnight, Tom. Maybe that minus 150 range, it's down to as low as minus 130 in

00:29some outlets. Great hitting weather. Does that mean we get runs today, though, in Colorado?

00:34Oh, do we get runs today? The question is, how many runs are we going to get? Lodolo's really

00:39interesting this year. He has a 426 XFIP, but his strikeouts are significantly lower this year

00:45compared to where we saw him over the past few years. His strikeout rate's at 15% this year.

00:49Last year, he was up at 24%. He does only have a 3% walk rate, which is absolutely phenomenal.

00:5439% fly ball rate at Coors Field with the wind blowing out and in the upper 70s or 80s is a

01:00dangerous, dangerous game. 176 ISO allowed to righties this year. Feltner on the other side,

01:05just not a good pitcher. 10% walk rate, 19% strikeout rate, 212 ISO to lefties, 173 to righties.

01:11This is a spot where I think we're going to see some runs. I think the regs win it. I think Austin Hayes is

01:17in a phenomenal spot. Obviously, Eli Dela Cruz can put up a six combined HR by himself. We can look

01:24there. And then Noel V Marte near the bottom line of the Reds, a 429 ISO in a smaller sample size,

01:32but man, we're going to see some power.
