Seattle Mariners Insights
- Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Out of all SPs, Logan Gilbert’s fastball spin rate of 2193 rpm grades out in the 19th percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- J.P. Crawford – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)J.P. Crawford has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (71% of the time), but he is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in this game.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
- Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Cal Raleigh (the Mariners’s expected catcher in today’s matchup) profiles as 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).
Texas Rangers Insights
- Jacob deGrom – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-180/+135)Tallying 91.2 adjusted pitches per game per started this year on average, Jacob deGrom places him the 75th percentile.Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Elias Diaz – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)Elias Diaz’s average exit velocity has declined recently; his 85.9-mph seasonal average has dropped to 81.8-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.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.
- Texas Rangers – 2H MoneylineThe Texas Rangers bullpen grades out as the 8th-worst in the game, via 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.
