Logan Gilbert and Eduardo Rodriguez have both feasted on luck this season. Rodriguez owns a 3.60 ERA and 4.30 xERA in 10 starts, though only two of those starts have taken place since he returned from injury. In those two games, he allowed just one earned run in 11 innings. Still, he allowed six walks and 10 hits, so runners were often on base.
Gilbert has had a comparable season, although he has pitched far more. He has a 3.49 ERA against a 4.27 xERA. He walks batters far less often than Rodriguez does, but also allows hard contact. His average Exit Velocity allowed is 91.3 mph, which ranks in the second percentile of MLB. His Hard Hit Percentage is 46.5%, which ranks in the fourth percentile.
Targeting either moneyline does not hold much value in this game. Detroit holds a team wRC+ of 79 against righties in August. Meanwhile, Seattle is tied for 10th in baseball with a 112 wRC+ off of southpaws. The Mariners should hit Rodriguez hard and take advantage of his free passes.
