00:00Let's go to the Giants taking on the Reds.
00:04Now, the Reds, once again, even with Chase Burns on a mound,
00:09well, guess what?
00:09They couldn't score any runs.
00:11Giants did, though.
00:12Five-nothing win last night at home against the Reds.
00:16Now we got Singer versus Hauser.
00:18I would love to think over, but in that ballpark and these offenses,
00:24I can't trust we're getting runs here either, Tom.
00:27It is so tough to trust these teams to get anything that resembles offense,
00:35especially in this park, to your point.
00:37Now, over the last 30 days, Cincinnati comes in 27th in the MLB
00:42against right-handed pitching with the 81 WRC+.
00:45That is absolutely terrible.
00:47And we can probably knock that down just a little bit more sub-80
00:51if we were to look at that in Oracle at that park.
00:56Not Oracle, it's not basketball, but whatever, park in San Francisco
01:01because it's even worse there for hitters.
01:03And it's not as if San Francisco has been some on-fire offense.
01:07And, yes, Brady Singer has been good, but I find it a tough, tough sell
01:10to get seven-and-a-half to get over that for any of these teams tonight.
01:16I agree.
01:17I just, I mean, Singer has been good, but Hauser, like, what are we, I mean,
01:23this game should have runs written all over it, but just can't trust it.
01:28I think we can trust, and I like this, I like the Padres to bounce back
01:33after giving one to the Pirates last night.
01:36Paul Skeen's on the mound here for Pittsburgh,
01:38and we know he is likely not going five innings, Tom.
01:42It just does not happen.
01:43Why his strikeout prop is six-and-a-half is beyond me, too.
01:47But Padres let one get away last night.
01:51Ashcraft was phenomenal.
01:53Skeen's not in that category, at least not anymore right now.
01:57I do like King on the mound for the Padres.
02:01It just feels like a good price with the home team here tonight.
02:05It really does, and San Diego has been awesome against righties.
02:09They are crushing them over the past month.
02:10The 119 WRC Plus, that's the third best in the MLB.
02:14With Skeen's just not being on top form.
02:16Yeah, his strikeout rate is still 30%, but his walk rate is also over 10%.
02:21And the Padres right now, over the last three days, a 10% walk rate.
02:24They are getting on base for three.
02:26They have power.
02:28They have hitting.
02:28They have it all.
02:29And, you know, really, these are two pretty different teams when it comes to the standings.
02:33We have a team of the Padres that are in the thick of the NL wildcard,
02:36where it's potentially pushing towards a postseason.
02:38The Pirates, their season's all but done.
02:41A home team at this kind of price seems pretty darn good to me.
02:45Yeah, I agree.
02:46I think the Padres look to get it done here.
02:51And if they have a lead heading into the seventh inning,
02:53I feel even better about it with that bullpen there.
02:56We have said it a lot here on the show that the Athletics are a triple-A, double-A team,
03:04and they should be fated every chance you get.
03:07That took center stage, even with Minnesota getting swept by the Giants over the weekend.
03:12Even Minnesota can write things by going into Sacramento, winning 9-6 last night.
03:19Finally, Buxton looks like he has figured some things out.
03:22And with Taj Bradley on the mound, I mean, they should be able to score some more runs
03:28against Jump and company tonight, no?
03:30They should.
03:32We saw all the scoring last night from the Twins.
03:34And what I've been saying all day about this matchup is, you know,
03:37if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
03:39We're fading the Athletics.
03:41You want to take a team total for the Twins?
03:43You want to take a game total?
03:44I think they both go over.
03:45We should not be looking to take unders against the Athletics pitching staff
03:49over the next five-ish weeks until the season ends.
03:51They're going to give up a lot of runs.
03:55Ton of runs here.
03:57Team total also, not a bad look here.
03:59Twins, I'm shocked it's not a little higher.
04:02But Taj Bradley has been good, especially against sub-500 teams.
04:07I think he'll be able to handle business here tonight in that one.
04:10I think he'll be able to handle business here tonight.
