Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers - Bryan Woo vs. Jack Leiter (8:05 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-125) at BetMGM Sportsbook

It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Texas Rangers offense as their lineup ranks below league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage. While Wyatt Langford suffering an injury earlier in the year played a role in their struggles, the Rangers' top of their order failing to make contact at a competitive rate has been a bigger issue as Jake Burger and Kevin Pillar possess a Batting Average lower than 0.250. 

Their struggles are poised to persist in an AL West divisional matchup against Seattle as they are set to face off against Bryan Woo who excels at avoiding contact and keeping opposing runners off the bases. In his five starts, Woo is averaging less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, an ERA of 3.09, a WHIP of 0.969, and a FIP of 3.17. His back end also grades out well in coverage as the Mariners' defense currently ranks eighth overall in Fielding Percentage.

On the other side of the field, the Seattle Mariners offense also ranks below league average in Contact Rate. That gives Jack Leiter the opportunity to climb back up the oddsboard for the AL Rookie of the Year award as the Rangers prospect currently averages less than three Hits Against per game and a WHIP of 0.975. Leiter also receives a high level of support from his back end as the Rangers' defense currently ranks 10th overall in Defensive Efficiency.

Washington Nationals vs. Cincinnati Reds - Mitchell Parker vs. Hunter Greene (6:10 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the year, Hunter Greene has seen his odds to win the NL Cy Young award steadily grow as the Cincinnati Reds pitcher is currently averaging an ERA of 2.70, a WHIP of 0.845, and an FIP of 3.51. His ability to keep opposing runners off the bases and generate Strikeouts at a high rate has played a major role in his success as Greene currently averages less than one Hit Against and more than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched.

Against Washington, expect Greene to continue to thrive as he faces off against a Nationals offense who currently ranks in the bottom half of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage. Especially with the top of their order struggling to open up the scoring early on in their contests as James Wood and Nathaniel Lowe both currently average less than one Hit per game.

While the Nationals offense have struggled, the Reds have managed to break out of their early season slump as their lineup continues to climb up the board in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, they face off against Mitchell Parker who excels at avoiding contact as the Nationals pitcher averages less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, a ERA of 2.65, and a WHIP of 1.125.
