The Nats, though they may not be the favorites, present an opportunity for a potential upset with Corbin on the mound. The Mariners’ status as heavy favorites is surprising, given their recent performance against pitchers they should theoretically crush. For some reason, they tend to struggle, and it’s likely we won’t see them overpower Corbin in this match.
An interesting player to watch is Lane Thomas. The last 30 days have seen him boasting a .231 ISO power number and a .346 weighted on-base percentage against right-handed pitching. This makes him a potential asset for any hit or prop parlay.

On the other side of the equation, Logan Gilbert has been battling with elevated weighted on-base percentages and ISO power numbers against both lefty and righty batters in the past 30 days. This could present a significant challenge for the Mariners.
Patrick Corbin, though he has been performing relatively well, is showing some vulnerability against right-handed batters. This is not uncommon for left-handed pitching, with an ISO power number of .215 and a weighted on-base percentage of .432.
The Mariners’ projected top five in the lineup – JP Crawford (.358), Julio Rodriguez (.342), Ty France (.552), Teoscar Hernandez (.454), and Eugenio Suarez (.380) – all have elevated weighted on-base percentages against left-handed pitching over the past month.
Could this be a high-scoring game with some unexpected twists and turns? That remains to be seen on the West Coast, where the nature of the ballpark typically favors pitchers.
