Colt Emerson (NA) Under 2.5 Hits (-667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mariners prepare to host the Angels, all eyes should be on Colt Emerson's performance at the plate. While he's shown flashes of brilliance this season, facing an aggressive Angels pitching staff could stifle his momentum. Emerson's recent struggles against right-handed pitchers—batting just .220 over his last 10 games—are particularly concerning as he’s set to face the formidable Shohei Ohtani, who has been lights out on the mound. Ohtani's ability to command the strike zone will likely keep Emerson guessing, limiting his chances for solid contact. Moreover, the Mariners have struggled offensively as a team, posting the second-lowest batting average in the league over the last month. With the pressure on and the stakes high, it’s reasonable to anticipate Emerson finishing the game with fewer than 2.5 hits, making the 'Under' bet not just a cautious choice, but a strategic one backed by recent trends and matchup dynamics.

Nolan Schanuel (NA) Under 1.5 Singles (-588)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mariners host the Angels this Friday, keep an eye on Nolan Schanuel's singles production, particularly with the line set at 1.5. Schanuel has been a promising addition to the Angels, but recent trends suggest he might struggle against Seattle's lefty-heavy rotation. The Mariners’ pitching staff has stifled opposing hitters, boasting a formidable strikeout rate that makes getting on base a challenge. Schanuel’s recent performance has seen him average significantly below that 1.5 line, and while he’s shown flashes of potential, the Mariners' ability to limit hits—especially against right-handed batters—plays right into this narrative. With Schanuel trending towards just under that threshold, betting on the under feels like the wise play. This matchup favors the Mariners' pitchers, and if they keep Schanuel in check, it’s hard to see him surpassing that singles mark tonight.

Nolan Schanuel (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-455)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mariners gear up to face the Angels, all eyes will be on rookie Nolan Schanuel, but betting on him to notch more than 1.5 hits might be a stretch. While Schanuel has shown flashes of brilliance, he's stepping into a tough matchup against Seattle's ace, who has been a force on the mound this season. The Mariners’ pitching staff is known for their ability to control the game and limit opposing hitters, especially when it comes to keeping them off base. Additionally, Schanuel has struggled a bit in recent games, going cold against right-handers. With the Mariners playing at home and riding a wave of momentum, expect them to stifle the Angels’ offense. The confluence of these factors makes the under on Schanuel's hits a savvy bet, as the odds certainly favor a quieter night for the young slugger.
