Kyle Stowers (MIA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Marlins gear up to face the Mariners, all eyes should be on Kyle Stowers, particularly when it comes to his total bases. Stowers has been struggling at the plate lately, with a batting average hovering just above the Mendoza line. Against left-handed pitching, he’s been even less effective, which plays right into the hands of Miami's starter who excels in that matchup. The Mariners, as a team, have also faced some hitting woes, ranking near the bottom in runs scored over the last couple of weeks. With Stowers likely facing a steady diet of breaking balls from a crafty lefty, the odds tilt heavily toward him finishing under 1.5 total bases. Given his recent performance and the current state of the Seattle lineup, taking the under here feels like a smart play. In a game where runs may be tough to come by, expect Stowers to struggle to find his footing.

Xavier Edwards (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Miami Marlins host the Seattle Mariners, all eyes will be on Xavier Edwards. While he’s shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he may struggle to surpass 1.5 total bases tonight. Seattle's pitching has been nothing short of impressive, boasting a collective ERA that ranks among the league's best. With their ace on the mound, Edwards could find himself facing a steady diet of breaking balls that exploit his weaknesses. Moreover, Edwards has faced a significant drop in his production against right-handed pitchers, hitting just .220 in those matchups. The Marlins’ recent offensive woes only add to this narrative, as they’ve averaged a mere 3.5 runs over the past week. With the Mariners' strong bullpen ready to back their starter, expect Edwards to remain below the total bases line, making the 'Under' a savvy play in this matchup.

Liam Hicks (MIA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-182)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Miami Marlins take on the Seattle Mariners, all eyes should be on Liam Hicks, but perhaps not for the reasons you might expect. Hicks, while having flashes of potential, has been struggling lately against right-handed pitching, managing just a .220 average over his last ten games. The Marlins’ pitching staff has been quietly effective, particularly their right-handers, and today they’ll be facing a Mariners lineup that has struggled to find consistent rhythm on the road. Moreover, the Mariners have a tendency to feast on lefties, but against solid right-handed arms, they’ve been far less productive. With a model prediction of just 0.58 total bases for Hicks, it’s telling that the under 1.5 total bases line feels like the right call here. Given the matchup dynamics and recent form, it’s hard to envision Hicks breaking through today. Keep an eye on this one; the under is looking promising!
