00:00yesterday DRS we thought it was going to be Christopher Sanchez against Nick Pavetta

00:03today in the opening game of the doubleheader it is still pitching Pavetta for San Diego

00:08but now against the rook Mick Abel on the other side for the fight in San Diego an ever so slight

00:15favorite in the updated odds from that pick'em price here on Vandal and in the second game it's

00:21still in cease and Christopher Sanchez where Philadelphia is a favorite at home what do you

00:27expect in the two games to be played today at the bank yeah Mick Abel that's going to be an

00:32interesting one because we're going to have heat and humidity in those in the conditions here at

00:36one o'clock mid-80s light wind blowing out to right field but understand this like Nick Pavetta is a

00:39pretty good pitcher we've taken a look at him a few times this season already but just looking over

00:44the numbers per se it's not just like you know hey this guy's better than the other one here's the

00:49interesting part about Mick Abel had a couple really good starts to his career sort of flat lined but

00:54then also you had one of those games in Atlanta where he warmed up before the game the rain delay

00:59came in and didn't play in that game that was the 13 to nothing Phillies victory over the Atlanta Braves

01:03so skipped a couple starts now he's back in the trustability right I always like to use that word

01:0996 batters he's faced on the season which isn't a lot Ben lefties have absolutely blown him away

01:15a 385 ISO and a 409 weighted on base percentage if you just zero that into his last 44 batters it ups to

01:22a 488 ISO and a 471 weighted on base percentage Arise Merrill Sheets Cronenworth Johnson probably

01:30really good looks game number two different because again we talked about what do you like

01:34to see out of double headers the second game is always so tough because you don't have the first

01:37game plays out two different separate entities that you have to look at but I gotta tell you

01:41like the Phillies are playing better baseball the Padres don't have a great offense but there's a

01:46chance that the Padres can kick this in in game number one and I think there's a good chance that

01:50happens do I want to take the Padres basically as a pick them or a slight favorite not necessarily

01:54but as I told you look for those left-handed batters to be able to do damage in this afternoon

01:58game against Mick Abel that's the way I'd play this one out
