Seattle Mariners vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction: Can Bailey Ober Continue His Breakout Season?
The Minnesota Twins have one of the best starting rotations in baseball, with Sonny Gray, Pablo Lopez, and Joe Ryan in their rotation. The biggest surprise has been the emergence of Bailey Ober, who quietly has a lower ERA than all three of those stud starters. Can Ober continue his breakout season versus a struggling Seattle Mariners side?

Seattle Mariners vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Mariners come into today a team that has struggled against right-handed pitching pretty heavily. Not only do they strike out the second most of any team versus right-handed pitchers, but they are also about bottom 10 in on-base percentage on the year. Over the last 30 days, the Mariners rank fifth worst in batting average versus right-handed arms.
The Mariners come into today in the bottom 10 for strikeout percentage over the year, the last seven days, the last 14 days, and the last 30 days time frames, and while the bet today isn't strikeouts, it helps paint a picture of just how bad the Mariners are versus right-handed pitchers.
What I am targeting today is Bailey Ober's outs which have been a revelation this year. He has hit his 15.5 line in 12 of his 14 starts and is now on a streak of hitting in seven straight games. He has hit in 100% of away games this year and is averaging over 18 outs per start on the road.
