The Seattle Mariners are trading as -130 favorites against the New York Mets, and I’m hitting the button on that number because I price the Mariners closer to -150 favorites in this spot. The Mets are expected to stack the top of their lineup with left-handed bats against the right-handed Emerson Hancock, but he has made some important adjustments to his pitch mix this season. As a result, left-handed hitters are batting just .209 with a .623 OPS against him. The changeup was a major problem for Hancock last season, as he surrendered plenty of home runs off that pitch. This year, however, he has leaned much more heavily on a back-foot slider and a four-seam fastball. That adjustment has played a significant role in his success and should serve him well in this matchup against the Mets.

Among all stadiums, T-Mobile Park has the 9th-lowest average fence height.. Brett Baty will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Emerson Hancock in today's game... and the cherry on top, Hancock has a large platoon split.. Brett Baty has a 75th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (33.2%) and will have a big advantage hitting them in the direction of the game's 9th-shallowest LF fences in today's matchup.. The Seattle Mariners infield defense profiles as the 2nd-weakest out of every team in action today.. With a .345 Expected wOBA (or xwOBA, an advanced metric created by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) using Statcast data) since the start of last season, Brett Baty finds himself in the 80th percentile for hitting ability.

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
