00:004.07 p.m. Eastern, first pitch, 927, 928.
00:03That's San Francisco and Los Angeles.
00:05It's Verlander versus Cucucci, the left-handed pitcher.
00:08This line across the board, depending where we're shopping at,
00:10minus 115s, minus 110s, so a de facto pick-em,
00:13and a total that opened up at 8.5 that we now see
00:16has moved to nines across the board, San Francisco and L.A.
00:20What are we looking at here for you, Tom?
00:23So this is a, you know, we're going to tease this a little bit
00:27where we're going to introduce this.
00:28We're going to get to some later segments.
00:30I'll talk about this game a little bit later.
00:32So I want to preface things by saying there's more info to come.
00:35Don't worry.
00:36The Angels are not good.
00:38That's where I want to start things off with.
00:39The Angels are not good.
00:40They got off to this great start.
00:42Throughout the entire season, they're coming in.
00:45This is versus righties, at least, right-handed pitching.
00:47A 196 ISO, which would put them in as the fourth best in the league.
00:50They have a 101 WRC, plus 25% strikeout rate, 6.6% walk rate.
00:55I have been on the record to say the Angels are not as good as their record
00:58and things will return to form for them.
01:00Their hot start is not sustainable.
01:02Over the past week, just since the 13th, they have a 34% strikeout rate,
01:07a 2% walk rate, a 110 ISO, and a 44 WRC plus.
01:13Oddly enough, things have fallen back down to earth for the Angels,
01:16despite the fact that I don't think Verlander is amazing,
01:19which is one of the points I'm trying to make as I kind of bury the lead.
01:22And I'll be talking about Verlander later.
01:24We'll get to that.
01:24But this game is about the Giants coming away with a victory.
01:28Even though I don't think Verlander is amazing,
01:30Kikuchi is an average pitcher.
01:32The Giants, their offense is moving.
01:34Give me the Giants.
01:35I don't know if the runs are going to be there just because I don't trust the Angels.
01:37I think the Giants could realistically win this game 6-1.
01:39I don't know if it's going to be there just because it's going to be there just because I don't know what I'm doing.
