Seattle Mariners Insights
- Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-160)Out of every team playing today, the worst infield defense is that of the the Seattle Mariners.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Taylor Ward – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Taylor Ward has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (91% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in this matchup.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
- The Seattle Mariners have been the unluckiest offense in baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to hit better in future gamesExplain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
Athletics Insights
- Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+135)Jeffrey Springs is an extreme flyball pitcher (37.4% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the misfortune of pitching in the #1 HR venue among all parks in today’s game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Carlos Cortes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)Carlos Cortes has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 88.3-mph dropping to 80.8-mph over the last 14 days.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.
- Athletics – 2H MoneylineThe Athletics bullpen grades out as the 2nd-worst in baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
