J.P. Crawford (SEA) Under 1.5 Doubles (-5000)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mariners host the Angels on September 25, J.P. Crawford’s chances of hitting over 1.5 doubles seem slim. Recent performances indicate a drop in his extra-base hits, as he’s managed just a couple of doubles in his last 20 games. The Angels’ pitching staff has been tough, especially against lefties, limiting opponents to a .315 slugging percentage over the past month. With the Mariners’ lineup struggling for consistent contact, Crawford may find himself facing a barrage of high-velocity fastballs from Angels ace, who has been particularly effective at keeping hitters off-balance. Additionally, the pressure of a playoff push could lead to more cautious at-bats from Crawford, further diminishing his chances for those extra bases. Given the odds heavily favor the under at 1.5, it’s wise to anticipate a quieter night for Crawford in terms of doubles.

Cal Raleigh (SEA) Under 1.5 Walks (-667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As September rolls on, Cal Raleigh has been swinging a hot bat, but his plate discipline has been wavering lately. Facing the Angels, who boast a solid pitching rotation, Raleigh could struggle to find his way on base via walks. Over the last handful of games, he’s averaged just about one walk every four contests, and with the Angels’ starters limiting free passes, the odds are stacked against him reaching that 1.5 mark. Moreover, Seattle's lineup has been more aggressive at the plate, which could constrict Raleigh's opportunities to draw a walk. He’s also up against a pitcher known for their control, making it even less likely he’ll get the chance to take a free ride. With the Mariners pressing for playoff positioning, expect Raleigh to put the ball in play rather than look for walks. Under 1.5 walks feels like the smart play here.

Dominic Canzone (SEA) Under 1.5 Walks (-769)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mariners host the Angels on Friday night, all eyes will be on Dominic Canzone, particularly in the batter walks market. Canzone has shown a tendency to be aggressive at the plate, which has kept his walk numbers low—he’s averaging just 0.2 walks per game this season. Facing an Angels pitching staff that thrives on controlling the strike zone, he’s likely to find himself swinging rather than waiting for his pitch. Seattle’s lineup has been swinging hot lately, and with Canzone’s recent form, he might be more inclined to put the ball in play than earn free passes. Given that the Angels’ bullpen has also been solid, this matchup suggests Canzone will struggle to reach even one walk, making the ‘Under 1.5’ a compelling bet. With an implied probability of 88.5%, the odds are certainly stacked in favor of this outcome.
