Mariners vs Tigers ——- MAX BET
Mariners ML -145Well, my friends… it has not been a very fun or ideal return from my vacation. Can’t run from it, can’t hide from it, we’ve really given back some units that we earned in August over the last 48 hours. It is never fun losing —- but when I woke up this morning I did so feeling DANGEROUS.
So when I opened up the lab, turned on the bunsen burners, and through on the spectacles, I found an absolute HAMMER spot.
Because anyone who knows me, you know I’m a SEAMAN. So I’m backing the Mariners to cash a big ticket for me today. First and foremost, the lads from the west coast have won six of their past eight games, including three in a row. Better still it’ll be Logan Gilbert who gets the start for Seattle, and although the man has some defined weaknesses, namely he struggles to get swinging misses and gives up hard contact. However, he’ll get to face a Tigers offense who is FEEBLE and MEEK.
The Tigers have averaged just 3.08 runs per game, good for last in the BigLeagues —- but more precisely the Tigers have the 3rd most K’s in baseball and rank 4th from the bottom in average exit velocity. That’ll be music to Gilbert's ears, getting a win shouldn’t be too tough for him if he’s himself.
Helps to know that Gilbert should also get some run support as the Mariners offense has found a rhythm of late, having tallied at least three runs in 17 of the past 18 games. Eduardo Rodriguez is on the bump today, and while yes it is true, Rodriguez has given up just one run over his past two starts (11 innings), the Mariners should be also to scratch across a few runs. Seattle has been hitting well and has a team 112 wRC+ off of lefties this season. Moreover, Rodriguez is walking a lot of batters and has a whiff rate in the bottom 1% of all of baseball —- and his xERA is almost a full run higher than his ERA —— bank on this guy getting touched up today.
