Seattle Mariners Insights
- Bryce Miller – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)Recording 18 outs per GS this year on average, Bryce Miller checks in at the 91st percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Cal Raleigh’s true offensive talent to be a .345, suggesting that he has had bad variance on his side this year given the .093 discrepancy between that figure and his actual .252 wOBA.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- The Seattle Mariners have 3 batters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Mitch Garver, Luke Raley, Cal Raleigh).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Pittsburgh Pirates Insights
- Bubba Chandler – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)The Seattle Mariners have 6 batters in the projected batting order that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Bubba Chandler today.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.
- Jake Mangum – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-230/+175)Jake Mangum has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (88% of the time), but he is projected to hit 1st on the lineup card in today’s game.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.
- Pittsburgh Pirates – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen grades out as the 10th-best among all major league teams.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.
