Seattle Mariners Insights

• Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
  Logan Gilbert’s slider rate has decreased by 12.6% from last year to this one (35.2% to 22.6%) .
  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.
• Luke Raley – Over/Under Total Bases
  Luke Raley has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 90-mph dropping to 83.6-mph over the last two weeks.
  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.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the team with the 5th-most strikeout-heavy lineup today is the Seattle Mariners with a 24.6% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Baltimore Orioles – Moneyline (+100)
  The Baltimore Orioles infield defense projects as the 2nd-weakest out of all the teams in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Gunnar Henderson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Gunnar Henderson has been unlucky this year, notching a .301 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .346 — a .045 deviation.
  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.
• Baltimore Orioles hitters as a group rank among the best in the majors this year () as far as their 90-mph average exit velocity.
  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.
