00:00We are tied at a game apiece as we get ready for our third game again of this four-game

00:05midweek set.

00:06The Dodgers have been a favorite in the opening, too.

00:09That remains the case here on this Wednesday evening at the Ravine.

00:13Total, nine and a half.

00:15What's the play late night in L.A.?

00:17Might be let's go Mets tonight because you take a look at Tony Gonsolin on the season

00:20here.

00:21Look at his numbers.

00:2231 innings pitched here.

00:235.23 ERA and a 4.46 XFIP number.

00:26The XFIP is lower than the ERA.

00:28You like to see that.

00:29But at the same time, through his last 112 batters, having an ISO against for Gonsolin

00:33of .247 and a weighted-on-base percentage of .382.

00:37Right-handers and left-handers certainly doing some damage.

00:40But the questionable thing is he doesn't strike out left-handed batters.

00:43How about his K-rate on the season towards righties?

00:4639%.

00:46How about the lefties?

00:4811%.

00:48So left-handed batters putting the baseball in play, which you start with Francisco Lindor

00:52at the top of the line up there.

00:5477 at-bats over his past 30 days against right-handed pitching, crushing it with a .269

00:58ISO and a weighted-on-base percentage of .362.

01:00Brandon Nimmo right behind him, a .255 ISO and a weighted-on-base percentage of .391.

01:05You also get down that line up with Brett Beatty, a .340 ISO and a .398 weighted-on-base

01:10percentage.

01:10The lefties should be able to do damage, but also the last 48 right-handed batters at

01:14the State of Wisconsin also have been doing damage.

01:17You flip it over to the Dodgers.

01:18Look, Griffin Canning is a decent pitcher on the season overall.

01:21You take a look at his numbers, 53 innings pitched, having a 3.23 ERA, slightly higher

01:26XFIP of 3.83.

01:27He handles right-handed batters here, but struggling a bit over the last 30 days against lefties.

01:32Those lefties in the lineup tonight you should pay attention to, Shohei Otani, Freddie Freeman,

01:36and Max Muncy there.

01:38But overall, if I think I'm getting the better pitcher and a lineup that matches up really

01:42well, why not take the Mets here at a plus-122 price here to win that series against the

01:46Los Angeles Dodgers?
