00:00Playoff race here out on the West Coast.
00:02Actually, 1240 start out West, but 340 East, San Francisco and Arizona.
00:05Verlander versus Fault on the mound.
00:07Total listed at nine across the board and roughly pick them.
00:10Minus 110 or so split depending on where you're shopping at.
00:13Verlander has been much better as of late, but understand this, Joe.
00:16On the road this year for Verlander, 53 and two-thirds innings pitched.
00:20How about an ERA of 4.53, but an XFIP number of 5.06.
00:25So is he going to have some recency bias or just taking into effect when he goes on the road?
00:29He's just not that good because why?
00:31Anytime you pitch out in San Francisco, it's a perfect pitcher's ballpark.
00:34Not in the case for Arizona.
00:35If we look at Brandon Fault at home this year, his numbers aren't that bad.
00:39As I'm trying to just scribble down, 6.05 ERA.
00:42What do you mean, Donnie?
00:43That's terrible.
00:44No, but he's got a 4.14 XFIP number, which isn't as bad.
00:48Nine is the total in this game.
00:50I got to tell you, maybe a team total for the Arizona Diamondbacks to get Verlander
00:54when he's been pitching well.
00:55And maybe it's a time that Arizona can rise up and win another game here.
00:58Arizona in the playoffs.
00:59How do you even think about it?
01:01And it could be a reality.
01:03And what a story it would be, Donnie, for sure, if they're able to do it.
01:07But this is, this Giants lineup has owned Brandon Fault.
01:12So to me, I think runs are coming.
01:15The Diamondbacks swinging the bat, great.
01:17I have no doubt that they'll be able to get to Verlander and score enough here.
01:22I don't think nine is enough, Donnie.
01:24I think this is a dead over in this game here.
01:27You're right.
01:28Team total, great.
01:29But I like the over for the game as well.
