00:00Windy conditions here down in Washington looks like it'll be out 65 degrees at first pitch close

00:05to 70 degrees by the end of the game 15 to 60 mile an hour winds but they are blowing in it looks like

00:10from left field the total opened up at eight no surprise time with those windy conditions

00:15it's down to eight across the board the side favorite the New York Mets opened up around

00:19a minus 150 still around a minus 150 right now McGill Parker Mets Nats what he got well besides

00:26the fact that McGill Parker sounds like a law firm or something uh these are two pitchers that that

00:31are off to good starts I will say I am not convinced that Mitchell Parker is as good of a pitcher as his

00:39numbers indicate I'm sorry Sam our producer in the back who's a Nats fan uh Parker a 139 ERA oh that

00:46looks good but he's got a 461 x skip he also has a 15 strikeout rate which is well below the league

00:53average does he allow hard contact no does he allow medium contact yes is he a ground ball pitcher

00:59yes he is a sub 260 wobo versus both lefties and righties he's a pitcher that is pitching well but

01:06is average when it's all said and done McGill on the other side much of the same can be said about him a

01:11109 ERA which is absolutely fantastic but we obviously prefer the 344 x fit that he has which

01:16is still absolutely great at 27 strikeout rate 10 walk rate these are ground ball medium contact

01:21pitchers in bad ish hitting weather I think today's about the under I could see the Nats coming away

01:26with another win but I think the under is the real play
