00:00Game number three tonight, Atlanta, a slight favorite at home.
00:04Spencer Schwellenbach off to a great start this year for the Braves.
00:07Leads Atlanta out there as a minus 126 favorite.
00:11Jesus Lozardo on the other side for Philadelphia.
00:14Total seven and a half.
00:15The RS, who wins the rubber match?
00:17Who wins the series?
00:18Yeah, it's going to be a close one.
00:19It is.
00:20And you see the favorite there for the Braves.
00:21Let me just take a look because I think we had some different numbers earlier today.
00:24Okay, so minus 124 overnight sits now at minus 126.
00:27This was as high as minus 130 to minus 140 a little bit earlier this morning
00:31because the buyback coming on the Phillies because Jesus Lozardo has been really good
00:35in his first couple starts here through around 50 or so batters on the season.
00:39Schwellenbach is a strikeout guy as well.
00:40So you look at the total itself.
00:42Opened up at eight, dropped to seven and a half.
00:43I do agree with that.
00:45These teams will have the opportunities to score runs like they did last night,
00:49but the opportunities weren't cashed in with actual runs.
00:52Disappointing me in the first five innings, needed a couple runs.
00:54They stranded 14 combined batters.
00:56But if we're being optimistic about this game, the Phillies lineup is much better
00:59than the Atlanta Braves.
01:01Outside of Trey Turner and Alec Boehm, who haven't hit right-handed pitching all that well,
01:05the rest of the lineup has done extremely well and also includes a lineup that typically
01:09has a lot of strikeouts in it, have done very well against right-handed pitchers
01:12and not striking out.
01:13That'll be key.
01:14Put the ball in play as opposed to striking out with Schwellenbach making those positive
01:18outs as opposed to not moving the runners along could be the key.
01:21But again, Hayes Lozardo comes over to the Phillies.
01:23Sort of a reclamation project in Major League Baseball coming into the big leagues.
01:27He had high expectations.
01:29Is he now reaching them?
01:30Well, granted, only two starts in 46 batters.
01:32We'll find out.
01:33But here's the key.
01:34The Braves lineup just isn't very good against left-handed pitching.
01:370-91-0-0-0-0-0-0.
01:40And a couple guys there with some green numbers.
01:42That's the ISO power numbers versus lefties.
01:44I give the advantage to the Phillies.
01:4667 degrees warmer than it was yesterday.
01:48Four mile-an-hour winds blowing out the left field.
01:50I think the Phillies can take down the Braves because they're not playing good baseball.
01:53But I do look towards the under 7.5.
01:55I'm not so sure, Ben.
01:57We get eight runs in this game with these two pitchers.
