Seattle Mariners

@

Minnesota Twins

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Luis Castillo – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Luis Castillo has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 4.4 more adjusted pitches-per-start than the average hurler.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  With a 42.200 Expected Home Runs per 600 plate appearances (an advanced metric created by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) based on Statcast data) since the start of last season , Cal Raleigh is positioned in the 99th percentile for power.
  Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
• Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-140)
  The Seattle Mariners projected batting order ranks as the 5th-strongest on the slate today in terms of overall offensive ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Connor Prielipp – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  The Seattle Mariners have 6 batters in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage over Connor Prielipp in this game, which is especially troublesome given his large platoon split.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Matt Wallner – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)
  Matt Wallner is penciled in 7th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 52% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
  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.
• Minnesota Twins hitters as a group rank near the cellar of the majors this year ( 3rd-worst) when it comes to their 88.3-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.
