Check the Rankings and Game Forecast: Athletics vs Mariners Analysis - 9/3/2026

+175O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-205

Jack Perkins – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
Jackson Perkins has been given a below-average leash this year, throwing 7.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than average.
Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
Jeff McNeil – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+215/-295)
Jeff McNeil is projected to bat 5th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 78% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Lawrence Butler has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.5%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 9th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Kade Anderson – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
The Athletics have 7 bats in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage against Kade Anderson in this game.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Cal Raleigh has been hot lately, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 89.8-mph to 97.2-mph in the past 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.
Kade Anderson – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Cal Raleigh, the Mariners’s expected catcher today, profiles as an elite pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
