Tampa Bay Rays

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-110)
  The Seattle Mariners infield defense profiles as the 2nd-worst among every team playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Dominic Canzone – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)
  Dominic Canzone is penciled in 3rd on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 76% 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 6.5 Strikeouts (+130/-170)
  Projected catcher Cal Raleigh profiles as an elite pitch framer, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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).

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Griffin Jax – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-195/+150)
  Tallying 75.6 adjusted pitches per start this year on average, Griffin Jax checks in at the 8th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Richie Palacios – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Richie Palacios has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 85.8-mph dropping to 82.8-mph in the last 14 days.
  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.
• Tampa Bay Rays – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Tampa Bay Rays’ bullpen profiles as the 9th-worst out of all the teams in MLB.
  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.
