00:00Home runs were good last night to the Philadelphia Phillies.
00:02They're going to take on Tampa once again tonight in game number two of that set.
00:06On the mound today, Christopher Sanchez, the left-handed pitcher,
00:08going up against Shane Boz, the right-handed pitcher for the race.
00:117.05 start.
00:12The Phillies are the favorite.
00:13Open up as a minus 134 favorite as you see that graphic.
00:16It's down slightly, Joe, to minus 126.
00:18A total on the board here that we're listing at is at 8.5 at the opening number.
00:22Still sits at 8.5.
00:24Some outlets have actually moved to 8.
00:26Christopher Sanchez on the card today out of 30 pitchers with XFIP numbers.
00:30And if you remove Gunnar Hoglund, the only six-innings pitch,
00:32Christopher Sanchez, the best on the board at a 2.93.
00:36Shane Boz isn't a bad pitcher either.
00:37An ERA manageable at 3.86, but a 3.95 XFIP number is decent here.
00:43Are we looking for more of the same for the Philadelphia Phillies in a win?
00:45I actually thought yesterday, Joe, that game would stay under the total.
00:48He had a very good start out of Zach Wheeler in that game,
00:50but the Phillies' bats really woke up in that small ballpark
00:53with some of that heat and humidity.
00:55And he's been actually really good.
00:57He's averaging, what, nine strikeouts.
01:00He's only given up – he only averages one home run allowed per nine innings,
01:04this being Shane Bass, especially in that Little League ballpark.
01:08But correct me if I'm wrong here, Donnie.
01:10Christopher Sanchez is a guy we want to put our money on when he pitches in Philadelphia.
01:15But if I'm not mistaken, when he gets on the road, he's a hot mess here.
01:20So that's the problem that I have backing Philadelphia in this spot,
01:26plus the Tampa bullpen advantage there for them.
01:29They have been absolutely outstanding for them.
01:32But I kind of agree with the move to the under.
01:34If you get Christopher Sanchez the home version for the Phillies,
01:39I don't think there's going to be a ton of runs in this game.
01:41There we go.
