The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Nolan Schanuel in the 85th percentile as it relates to his batting average skill. Nolan Schanuel is projected to bat 2nd in the batting order in today's game, which would be an upgrade from his 77% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season. Nolan Schanuel will hold the platoon advantage over Emerson Hancock in today's game. Nolan Schanuel will probably have an advantage against every reliever from start to finish, since the bullpen of the Seattle Mariners has just 1 same-handed RP. The Seattle Mariners infield defense grades out as the 4th-weakest among all the teams in action today.
