00:00keep going a 405 start today 923 924 on the rotation that's the a's taking on the giants
00:06battle of california out there springs the lefty on the mound versus verlander the righty
00:10a favorite which opened up overnight time about a minus 130 minus 135 price money now pouring in
00:15on san francisco as high as minus 155 in the marketplace and a total that sits at eight and
00:21a half what used to be the battle of the bay area it's now about it between san francisco and sack
00:26down yeah i i think this is the matchup that the athletics come through with a win and again
00:34verlander is a pitcher that we know how great he was but he's not the same pitcher that he once was
00:38and when we see the era and the xfip matching essentially at a 4-3-1 era and a 4-4-4 xfip
00:45this is the pitcher that he is he's not like due for some massive positive regression he's not
00:49straight down hitters the same rate that he was and yes i like the athletics lineup that we've
00:53talked about it there's a little bit of wind blowing out but again this is a ballpark in san
00:57francisco that was built to minimize the wind so seeing 14 mile per hour wind and 60 degree
01:02temperatures like that's okay overall we're not gonna see a ton it's more about springs being i'm
01:07gonna say decent enough to kind of quell the san francisco lineup which again has kind of slowed
01:12down after their super hot start so when we're seeing yeah 47 fly ball rate it's not great from
01:17springs but when we see a 28 hard contact rate allowed that is absolutely fantastic the strikeout rate's
01:22not super high the walks are concerning with springs but i have my concerns with the giants
01:26continuing their hot start
