Seattle Mariners Insights

  • Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-130)
    Out of every team playing today, the 2nd-worst infield defense is that of the Seattle Mariners.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • J.P. Crawford – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
    J.P. Crawford is penciled in 1st in the batting order in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 65% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
    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.
  • Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Cal Raleigh (the Mariners’s expected catcher in today’s game) is considered to be an elite pitch framer.
    Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Minnesota Twins Insights

  • Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
    Joe Ryan is an extreme flyball pitcher (42% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and should be helped pitching in the #24 HR venue among all major league stadiums in today’s game.
    Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
