Tampa Bay Rays Insights

  • Ian Seymour – Over/Under Strikeouts
    The Seattle Mariners have 6 batters in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage over Ian Seymour 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.
  • Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+190/-250)
    As it relates to his batting average skill, Yandy Diaz is projected as the 11th-best hitter in MLB by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
  • Yandy Diaz – Over/Under Total Bases
    Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (50.7%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 4th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
    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.

Seattle Mariners Insights

  • Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-120)
    The Seattle Mariners infield defense grades out as the 2nd-worst among every team in action today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • Cal Raleigh – Over/Under Total Bases
    The switch-hitting Cal Raleigh will bat from his bad side (0) today against Ian Seymour
    Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • The Seattle Mariners have 3 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Cal Raleigh, Colt Emerson, Weston Wilson).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
