00:00But not a great weekend for the M's.

00:02They remain in Seattle.

00:04They host the Yanks.

00:05Minus 148, the price in favor of the Pinstripes.

00:08On the road tonight, a total of eight.

00:11It is dropped from the number you see on your screen.

00:14Clark Schmidt gets the start for the Yanks.

00:16His team is favored.

00:17Is the right side favored in this matchup, DRS?

00:20The Yankees are probably always going to be favored in a matchup like this.

00:23But by the way, like the pitching matchup here, we should get some runs.

00:26The only reason why we're holding it down is because of where we're going to play this game tonight.

00:2962 degrees with a light wind blowing out.

00:31Always tough to hit there in the Pacific Northwest.

00:33If this game was at Yankee Stadium, we might be looking at a different picture in the mid-70s

00:37and maybe a wind blowing out to center field.

00:39But Emerson Hancock will be on the mound for the Seattle Mariners tonight.

00:4123 and two-thirds innings pitched, a 570 ERA.

00:45But his XFIP is lower, Ben, at a 4.06.

00:49You take a look at Clark Schmidt, who's got 20 and two-thirds innings pitched on the season.

00:53How about a 4.79 ERA and a 4.58 XFIP number?

00:57You look at the lineups tonight, Crawford, Polanco, Rodriguez, Raleigh, Rosarana, and Tellez

01:01all have very good weighted on-base percentages here.

01:05That's two of the lineups.

01:06Polanco, one of my favorite batters on the card yesterday, sat out.

01:09So he should be healthy and ready to go over his last 70 at-bats in the past 30 days

01:13where he's cracking right-handed pitchers.

01:14From a Yankees perspective, it always starts and ends, it seems like, with the top three here.

01:19Emerson Hancock, not a great pitcher.

01:20Look at Grisham, 56 at-bats over the past month.

01:23Against right-handed pitchers, Ben, a 4.51 ISO and a 4.48 weighted on-base percentage.

01:28Aaron Judge, 105 at-bats against right-handed pitching over the past month.

01:32How about a 3.01 ISO and a weighted on-base percentage of 5.06?

01:36And then Ben Rice with a 2.90 and a 3.88.

01:39Sensational stuff overall from those top three guys.

01:42I think we get run-out.

01:43Runs in the Pacific Northwest.

01:44Why not?

01:45Let's go.
