Seattle Mariners Insights
- George Kirby – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)George Kirby’s higher usage rate of his secondary pitches this season (49.7% compared to 44.4% last season) figures to work in his favor considering they are generally much more effective than fastballs.Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
- Luke Raley – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)Luke Raley has seen a substantial increase in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 98.5-mph average in the past week’s worth of games to his seasonal 90.8-mph EV.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.
- The Seattle Mariners have been the 3rd-unluckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to hit better going forwardExplain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
Texas Rangers Insights
- Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)Kumar Rocker’s 2157-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 20th percentile out of all SPs.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Wyatt Langford – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)Wyatt Langford is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the weak outfield defense of Seattle (#3-worst of the day).Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- Texas Rangers – 2H MoneylineThe Texas Rangers bullpen grades out as the 9th-worst in the majors, 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.
