00:00San Francisco and Milwaukee.

00:01Robbie Ray, the lefty, going up against Patrick the righty.

00:04Now for the Brewers, that is confirmed.

00:05907-908 on the rotation, a 2-10 start.

00:08Hard to gauge because when the pitching gets confirmed,

00:10the numbers are going to jump around.

00:12I'm seeing roughly pick-ems right now and 8.5s and 8s for the totals.

00:15The one thing I never like is San Francisco's lineup versus anybody.

00:19But any specifics now with Patrick added in into the starting lineup

00:22as the starting pitcher for the Brewers today, Tom?

00:26Nothing that jumps off the page.

00:28He's like, Patrick's a good-ish pitcher.

00:31I'm not going to say he's amazing.

00:32A 3-6-1 ERA this season.

00:34He's got 4-1-4 XFIP overall.

00:36He's not a big strikeout pitcher.

00:38He doesn't have too many home runs.

00:39The walks are under control.

00:40Like, Robbie Ray is no doubt the better pitcher in this matchup.

00:44But the Giants lineup is terrible.

00:47So I'm not seeing confirmed lineup for the Brewers just yet.

00:50Again, I think this is a thing that I often say.

00:52This is the skill shot type of thing.

00:54Giants can win the first five because Robbie Ray is the better pitcher,

00:56but Brewers are the better team overall.

00:58They come through and you get a Brewers full game

01:00where you just wait for an in-game number

01:01and get them at a better spot after the Giants win the first five.
