Mariners-Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
By Derek Carty
First off, Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi is just coming off the IL, so there’s a fair bit of uncertainty here. We don’t know how sharp he’ll be or if he’ll have some rust to shake off. His stuff might not be quite back to full strength yet, and that’s a big factor.
Now, Cole Young has punched out quite a bit in the majors thus far with a strikeout rate of about 24%. But keep in mind, that’s based on just three weeks of action.
Back in the minors, his strikeout rate was way lower — more like 11% to 15% — so I fully expect his strikeout rate to drop a bit as things settle in.
But here’s the part I really like: volume and opportunity.
The Mariners have already shown they’re willing to pinch-hit for him, and with Eovaldi’s pitch count likely capped around 75 pitches or so as he gets stretched out, there’s a solid chance Young could get two at-bats before being pulled once the bullpen comes in.
That scenario is ideal.
Because Eovaldi might not be lights-out yet and Young’s strikeouts should come down, the combination of those factors gives Young a nice shot to have a clean game early before the matchup shifts.
