Window of the series: Seattle Mariners vs Minnesota Twins

After such a start to the season in April, the navies are now about to finish with a record of less than 0,500 in May. They went 4-6 from the Vedder Cup scanning and the vibrations worsened. You can indicate just about all aspects of the list and see the regression of the first month of the season: the offensive went from a 125 WRC + in April to only 100 in May and beginners went from an 88 FIP to 104 this month. The real talent of the team is probably somewhere between the extremes during these two months, but the summits of April make the May’s valley particularly deep.

The ups and downs of the twins season are essentially the opposite of sailors. Minnesota experienced an extremely bad start of the year, going from 13-18 to the end of April. As soon as the calendar overturned in May, they shook a sequence of 13 -game victories and embarked on the ranking. They have been a little high in the past two weeks, going 4-5 since this hot sequence was broken. Their attack had his difficulties, but the pitching staff was among the best in the American League and he led his success this month; Only the Yankees granted fewer points in May and Minnesota has a 17-7 file corresponding with New York this month.

About two weeks ago, Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton had a nasty collision on a shallow popup and both were placed on the 7 -day concussion. Correa returned a few days ago and Buxton is on the right track to be activated for this series. As has been the case in recent years, the Twins offense is essentially going through these two superstars, and their health determines the performance of the programming. The third offensive driver, Royce Lewis, underwent an injury to the spring hamstrings and was mired in a deep crisis since its activity in early May. This series also marks the return of Ty France to Seattle. He showed some improvements after his fall season last year, although his overall line is still not back where it was when he was a must at the heart of the range of Mr.

Probable launchers

Updated stuff + explanator

Zebby Matthews is part of a handful of young pitch prospects about to make an impact in the big leagues. He had a difficult introduction to the majors last year, making nine departures with a very beautiful MPM of 6.69 and a FIP of 5.72. Its walking ratio was actually very good, but a ton of circuits flowed its ability to prevent races. A net control gives it a solid base, although it is more used to systematically fill the area rather than the precision of the precision for which George Kirby is known. He has a fantastic cursor but does not have a solid third land to complete his repertoire.

Bailey Ober uses every centimeter of her 6 -inch frame to maximize her dull raw stuff. Its elite extension on the mound helps its quick ball to play, its release point is much higher than normal, and the movement profile of its locations is not what you expect from a launcher with its stature. He has one of the most extreme flies of the game ball profiles, but manages to keep the ball in the courtyard thanks to a huge popup rate and many lazy flies. Its withdrawal rate has gained a fairly high decline this year, although all its underlying pitch metrics comply with its career standards.

Chris Paddack succeeded two terrible departures in his season, granting 13 points in 7.1 rounds. He has not granted no more than three points in one of his nine departures since then and looked like a perfectly solid member of the twins rotation. His withdrawal rate fell quite significantly compared to his question where he was a much appreciated perspective with the paadres. Now, it is mainly based on excellent contact deletion skills with just enough swing-and-miss in its profile to make the entire package work. His change is always his best field, but he also joined two bullets in his mixture of pitch, giving him two additional weapons that he had never had when he was in San Diego.

Overview:

The navies should thank the Rays for preventing the astros from slipping in first place yesterday. Houston swept away a tiny series of two games against the A earlier this week and will end his four game sets against Tampa this weekend. The Rangers continue to wade, losing their third consecutive series earlier this week; They will host the cardinals that increase during the weekend. The angels managed to reach 0,500 last weekend but lost five games in a row, being swept by Yankees at home this week. Los Angeles goes to Cleveland this weekend by trying to return to the column of victories.
