Check Out Picks and Betting Guide for Astros vs Mariners - 4/11/26

+135O/U: 7.5
(-105/-115)-155

Lance McCullers Jr. – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
Lance McCullers Jr.’s cutter utilization has jumped by 27.4% from last year to this one (4.6% to 32%) .
Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
Jeremy Pena – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
Jeremy Pena’s average exit velocity has decreased this season; his 88.7-mph average last season has lowered to 84.5-mph.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
The underlying talent of the Houston Astros projected lineup today (.321 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably worse than their .355 wOBA this year.
Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-155)
The Seattle Mariners infield defense profiles as the weakest out of every team playing today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
Houston’s #1-ranked outfield defense of all teams today poses a formidable challenge for Cal Raleigh, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
The Seattle Mariners bullpen ranks as the 9th-best in the majors, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
