Seattle Mariners Insights
- Bryce Miller – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Bryce Miller has used his off-speed and breaking pitches 7.2% more often this season (49.7%) than he did last season (42.5%).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.
- Dominic Canzone – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Dominic Canzone is projected to hit 3rd in the batting order in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 68% 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.
- Seattle Mariners batters collectively grade out 9th- in baseball for power this year when assessing with their 92.6-mph exit velocity on flyballs.Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
Texas Rangers Insights
- MacKenzie Gore – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)MacKenzie Gore’s 2243-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 25th percentile out of all starting pitchers.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Elias Diaz – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)Elias Diaz’s average exit velocity has decreased in recent games; his 85.9-mph seasonal figure has dropped off to 83.6-mph in the past week.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.
- Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)Brandon Nimmo hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.6% — 85th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the league’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
