00:00tonight in seattle it's the mariners and the royals once again minus 124 that price in favor

00:06of the m's pretty low total seven is now seven and a half what do you like tonight in this seattle

00:12showdown yeah you always i mean it's so hard sometimes in seattle you get two decent pitchers

00:17on the mound it's like you know this game is going to go under but having said that though

00:20you look at the you know current season statistics as opposed to the last 30 days they don't change

00:24that much for seattle like some of those bats really show up against right-handed pitching

00:27but understand this lugo's last 114 batters that he's faced been an 061 ice on a 221 weighted on

00:34base percentage and a k rate of 27 even though crawford rally a rosarana raley and also canzone

00:40have really good statistics against righties lugo's been really good over the past 30 days

00:45brian woo who does struggle with left-handed batters so you know who we go to in that lineup right away

00:49we'll get to that in a moment but against right-handed batters on the season and the past 30 days he's been

00:54really good so the focal point like who can we get down with as a left-handed batter vinnie

00:59pasquantino in the middle of that lineup you might even look lower like jack caglione you know rave

01:03and isbel they haven't hit right-handed pitching all that well so it's almost like okay if lefties

01:08get the best of brian woo the only guy viable in that lineup is vinnie pasquantino for an rbi

01:13and that's the reason why we're talking about a game at seven and seven and a half there's not a lot

01:17to love on the matchup tonight which in a ballpark that's hard to score runs in you take your spots

01:22a decent rbi from here or there but to me again if that's seven and a half i don't think we get

01:27eight runs tonight i don't
