San Francisco Giants vs Seattle Mariners

Today’s matchup is between the San Francisco Giants (23-24) and the Seattle Mariners (22-26). The Giants have won 2 of their last 5 games & the Mariners have won 3 of their last 5 games.

The Giants are starting Tyler Anderson (LHP), who is 2-3 on the season with a 4.50 ERA, 4.55 FIP, .322 wOBA, K% of 15.2%, BB% of 8.6%, 87.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.35 WHIP in 46 innings pitched.

The Mariners are starting Nick Margevicius (LHP), on the mound who is 1-3 on the season pitching a 5.34 ERA, 4.22 FIP, .318 wOBA, K% of 23.2%, BB% of 6.4%, 90.3 average exit velocity, and a 1.25 WHIP in 45.1 innings pitched.

The Giants are the 29th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Mariners are 30th.

On the hitting side, the Giants have a .334 wOBA and a .331 OBP. The Mariners have a .306 wOBA and a .313 OBP. The Giants have 61 HRs this season while the Mariners have 52 HRs.

I gave the slight advantage to the Mariners with their starting pitching but on the batting side the Giants are better. This should be a close game and if the line is higher than +130 for the Mariners, that's when I would play the game.
