Pretty nice analysis here:
Tor/Sea Un 7
===================
I’m plugging Under 7 runs in the Mariners–Blue Jays game at T-Mobile Park (first pitch 9:40 p.m. PT). Here are ten reasons why this total looks sharply tilted toward the “under,” each backed by recent data:
-
Pitcher-Friendly Park Factor
T-Mobile Park has one of the lowest run environments in MLB—17 percent below league average over the past three years—making it the toughest park in which to score -
Dramatic Whiff Spike After Sunset
The stadium’s extremely dark batter’s eye creates a significant rise in strikeouts once the sun dips below the horizon, suppressing offense in night games like tonight’s -
Elite Starting Pitchers on the Mound
Seattle’s Luis Castillo owns a 3.29 ERA and a stingy .238 opponent batting average so far this year, while Toronto’s Kevin Gausman carries a 3.83 ERA and just a .182 opponent average over his last outing -
Recent Quality Starts from Both Arms
Castillo yielded only 1 earned run over 6 innings in his last turn, and Gausman tossed 6 shutout innings in his most recent start—two of seven quality starts on the year. -
Suppressed Home Run Conditions
T-Mobile Park ranked last in doubles and triples, 19th in home runs, and 26th in overall runs from 2022–24—demonstrating how its marine layer and dimensions limit extra-base hits. -
Cool, Calm Seattle Weather
Friday’s forecast is a comfortable 66–68 °F with light wind and clear skies—conditions that don’t help carry the ball out of this already pitcher-friendly park
-
Bullpen Stability on Both Sides
Both teams’ pen arms rank in the top half of MLB in bullpen ERA, suggesting few late-inning runs will sneak in once the starters exit. -
Mariners’ Under Trend
Seattle’s games have gone “under” the total in 6 of their last 8 home outings, indicating their ballpark and pitching staff consistently keep scores low. -
Blue Jays’ Offensive Inconsistency
Toronto averages just 3.65 runs per game this season (ranked 24th in MLB) and even their recent surge to 3.8 R/G over the last 5 games still leaves them below league average. -
Market Consensus Leaning Under
Sharps have moved early money onto the under in this spot—BetMGM lists the Under 7.5 at +100, while most public money is split on the Over, a classic contrarian indicator.
Bet: Under 7 runs (total 7.0) – highest edge play on tonight’s board.
Good luck, and may the pitchers dominate!
