Friday Night Showdown: Can the Blue Jays and Mariners Pull Off Stunning Upsets Against Red Sox and Rangers?
Also, Seattle’s lineup is more productive against right-handed pitching. Per FanGraphs, the Mariners are seventh in wRC+, eighth in hard-hit rate, and 10th in wOBA vs. righties, whereas the Rangers are 15th in hard-hit rate, 26th in wRC+, and 27th in wOBA.ÂÂ
Finally, the market is backing Seattle, and I’m more willing to follow line movement in regular-season MLB because the public only moves odds in the NFL and the playoffs for other leagues. Pinnacle Sportsbook, a market-making oddsmaker, opened this game at even-money (+100), and the Mariners are slight favorites (-120-ish) at the time of writing.ÂÂ
