Weather & availability impact for this fixture

Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Seattle Mariners vs Kansas City Royals: Ballpark wind and temperature can swing the run total, though the live per-park feed isn't wired into this page yet, and 21 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Ballpark weatherWind and temperature at the park move run totals, but our ballpark weather module is pending a file-to-table persistence job.
Availability21 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: wind blowing out and warm air help the ball carry (more runs and home runs), while wind in and cold air suppress scoring; the starting pitchers listed above are the single biggest driver of the run total.

Ballpark weather module pending a file-to-table persistence job (owner). We won't show a wind/temperature number until it's persisted to the database.

Logan Gilbert (SEA) Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-278)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Logan Gilbert's performance data strongly supports the bet for over 4.5 pitcher strikeouts. His average strikeouts in the last five games overall and away are 8.2 and 8.2 respectively, which are significantly higher than the line of 4.5. His innings pitched and outs averages also indicate a strong performance and durability on the mound, especially when playing away. Gilbert's current hit streaks, both overall and away, further affirm his consistent performance. Although his strikeouts average against the Royals is slightly lower at 5.5, it's still above the line. The only caution is his lower away strikeouts average of 4, but given the strength of his overall and recent performances, the bet for over 4.5 strikeouts is statistically substantiated.
