00:00this game coming up here tonight we turn to white socks and the rangers not a series that you would
00:04think would carry some weight but yeah it carries a little bit of weight here uh two guys on the
00:10mound also with gore and burke that have had their ups and downs uh to say the least here this
00:16year
00:17but it's a realistic price here for the white socks uh minus 120 as a favorite burke has been
00:24very good especially at home uh mckenzie gore what i saw his outs at 17 and a half i thought
00:30that was
00:31excessive here uh but what are we thinking do we think rangers here in this one or do we like
00:37the
00:37white socks well i like mckenzie gore under 17 and a half outs uh i already have it at minus
00:44110
00:44and you look to the last 30 days the white socks they are essentially top 12 in the league in
00:53almost everything that we want to see you know they're 13th in in bad uh 292 but they are third
00:59in wrc plus second in iso they're third in walk rate they're ninth in fly ball rate and they're 12th
01:06in hard contact rate and those are some of the things that mckenzie gore can struggle with which
01:10would be the walks and one of the things i i've been looking at more and more this year which
01:14is
01:14a stat that you and i've talked about joe is left on base percentage so mckenzie gore over his last
01:2010
01:21outings and we're looking at this stretch his left on base percentage is 94.3 which is bananas
01:27and on a season average or season number for left on base percent is 72.8 he's at 94 recently
01:35and said
01:35so he is due to at least be to the middle at least due for some amount of regression with
01:39the way the
01:40white socks are hitting i don't mind them on the money line but i really do like gore under 17
01:44and a
01:45half hours it's been crazy what the white socks have done in august right because you're right 121
01:52wrc plus in the month of august against left-handed pitching but they also have a 25 and a half
01:58percent
01:59strikeout rate against left-handers so they are either hitting a home run or they are striking out
02:06against left-handed hitting that's pretty much what's been going on here for the month of august
02:11my question is do we trust mckenzie gore not to walk a lot of guys because that's going to be
02:17that's either what happens with them it's a strikeout it's a walk or it's a long ball here and i
02:24don't know
02:24that i trust uh mckenzie gore i'm with you i think the under 17 and a half outs is good
02:30they would love
02:31to stretch them out uh but i don't know here it still feels like and i like burke i mean
02:37burke had a
02:38rough outing last time but burke has been pretty good for them especially at home and i'm not buying
02:43the offense that we've seen from the rangers here right recently i still think they're a terrible
02:49offensive team even though seager's gotten a little hot but must win for both teams i mean do i hate
02:57to
02:57say it but these teams can ill afford to keep playing 500 base 500 is not going to win you
03:02to west
03:03or the central in the american league dom is it yeah i would hope that you have to be above
03:09500
03:09to win a division in 2026 and you know the rangers seemingly can't get out of their own way it's
03:16like
03:16just they they just are the epitome of a 500 team they'll win two to go above and then they'll
03:21just
03:21lose two to fall right back down and you know with the the astros they won last night at the
03:26rangers
03:27you look okay they can play the white socks they can take this series all of a sudden now the
03:31guardians are hot now the white socks had a five game lead it's down to two and a half right
03:35now
03:35so uh it is going to be a dog fight for both of these teams white socks at home that's
03:42where i'm
03:42going yeah i mean the 11 7 18 runs aside they're probably going to score three runs tonight because
03:49that's what these two teams do uh tom on a daily basis here
03:53you
03:53you
