00:00We go to Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.
00:03The Dodgers off to an 8-0 start.
00:05The Padres not tailing all that far behind.
00:08A perfect 7-0.
00:10They visit the Cubbies in Chicago's home opener at Wrigley.
00:14Shota Iminaga gets the start for the Cubs.
00:17Minus 164 on that money line.
00:19DRS total is not 7 anymore.
00:21It's now 6.5.
00:23That can only mean the wind is blowing in at the friendly confines, huh?
00:27Yeah, legitimate chances today where a winless team in the Atlanta Braves
00:30we'll talk about will probably get their win today.
00:32And also two teams on the road, the Dodgers and the Padres.
00:35The Padres, heavy underdogs in this game as we just saw in that graphic.
00:38And we saw the Dodgers as a slight favorite over the Philadelphia Phillies.
00:41But you're right about that.
00:4247 degrees in Chicago.
00:44Wind blowing in at about double digits.
00:46Not exactly the best hitting environment.
00:47But if there was a way to attack,
00:49it's probably not going to be with the Cubs' pitcher on the mound.
00:51It probably is going to be Vasquez here for the San Diego Padres.
00:55Last year, 434 total batters he faced.
00:57A 169 ISO, which is right on average, which isn't bad.
01:00But a slightly higher weighted-on-base percentage at 360,
01:03which included to left-handed batters who really got the best of Vasquez.
01:07So if I'm looking to attack the lineup tonight,
01:09and if I do want to have, let's just say, a couple hitter props in there,
01:12Happ would be a switch hitter out of the Lido spot.
01:14He'll bat lefty tonight.
01:15Kyle Tucker's been on fire.
01:17He'll bat lefty there.
01:18You take a look at Michael Bush in the middle of the lineup.
01:20Pete Crowe, Armstrong.
01:21There are some lefties in the lineup, which is the way I would attack.
01:23But again, 47 degrees, that's already cold.
01:26Some wind chills, what?
01:27In the low 40s, wind blowing in, it's Wrigley.
01:30That's usually a great hitting environment, but maybe not tonight.
01:33I do agree the Cubs could be the favorite, but it's just hard, man.
01:36When you are playing early April games in cold, windy conditions,
01:40it's not always the best feeling here for the batters.
01:42But again, look at the lefties for the Cubs
01:44if you want to try to make some money in that game tonight.
