00:00the yankees completing a sweep in the regular bronx that being yankee stadium this week against
00:05the kansas city royals now they head to tampa to take on the rays basically a pick them minus 112
00:12in favor of the rays minus 104 on the other side for the yanks total of nine donnie do you put any
00:19stock into the fact the yankees are going to be in a very familiar setting now in a road game but
00:25a regular season contest oh it does help no it does because you're used to the sight lines you're
00:30used to being there now the interesting part is like you're not going to be in your home locker
00:34room i guess because that's the tampa bay rays locker room they're probably going to take the
00:37bigger side which the yankees always would have in spring training so that's just a little bit
00:41different but it is nice to be there and also sometimes you go to different ballparks around
00:45the league and no matter if you played there 20 30 or 40 times throughout your career you still
00:49know the dimensions like this is yankee stadium like like hey you know the rules down here and
00:53if i wonder if i can hit the ball to this porch because no it's the same as your home ballpark
00:57so i do think quickly there ben it is an added advantage there at yankee stadium being yankee
01:01stadium south and steinbrenner field but if we do match up the game itself you take a look at that
01:05placard right there it's minus 112 like you are getting the slightly better pitcher in taj brother
01:10the reason i say that we're too early in the season to determine you want to look at pure pedigree over
01:14a lifetime of a career yeah taj bradley's supposed to be the better pitcher now bradley comes in this
01:18game 3.71 era 3.12 x fit which is really good warren comes in with 14 innings pitch with a 5.14
01:25era which is bad but it has an acceptable x vip of 3.70 here's going to be the issue last year will
01:31warren 54 batters which isn't a lot against lefties he got tattooed 58 batters against righties he got
01:37beat up a bit you take a look at the lefty batters today which is where the focus will be 30 batters
01:41that will warren is faced the 240 iso and a 341 weighted on base percentage also understand this
01:4677 degree temperatures at first pitch with a wind blowing out to right field that's the short porch
01:51that helps you look in the lineup today brandon lau 176 iso 324 weighted on base percentage against
01:57right-handed pitching that works out jonathan aranda 381 iso 552 weighted on base percentage
02:03that works out meisner 333 iso 512 weighted on base percentage the lefties is where that look would be
02:09for me early on in this game now if we take a look at the opposite side and say well what are the
02:13yankees going to do typically they do well against just about every pitcher they have solid numbers
02:17taj bradley's been electric against left-handed batters so far this season but a little bit leaky
02:22against right-handed batters so you look at that lineup all the way through bellinger struggled
02:26goldsmith has struggled against right-handed batter sweet pitchers excuse me and cabrera everybody else
02:30is positive so you're trying to match up i do have a slightly better pitcher in taj bradley but the
02:35better line it might be for the new york yankees it's just the way you want to factor it in i'm looking
02:39more from a player prop perspective from tampa saying early on in those first five innings i think
02:44some of those left-handed batters can provide power rbis and extra base hits
02:47you
