Seattle Mariners Insights

  • George Kirby – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
    George Kirby’s slider utilization has decreased by 18% from last year to this one (27.5% to 9.5%) .
    Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
  • Randy Arozarena – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Randy Arozarena’s launch angle this season (0.5°) is a considerable dropoff from his 13.4° mark last year.
    Explain: A low launch angle generally means the hitter struggles to lift the ball into the air, which is a key component for power and home runs.
  • Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
    The Seattle Mariners bullpen profiles as the 6th-best in Major League Baseball, per 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

  • Texas Rangers – Moneyline (+100)
    The Texas Rangers outfield defense projects as the 2nd-strongest out of all the teams on the slate today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Corey Seager – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
    Corey Seager’s quickness has decreased this season. His 25.29 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last year sits at 24.38 ft/sec now.
    Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
  • Evan Carter – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
    Evan Carter hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.8% — 92nd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
