Don’t sleep on Kirby, though, as the Seattle righty owns a career 3.52 SIERA and shoved in his first start of the series, fanning eight over five innings of two-run ball.<\/p>\n With this under, there’s not much margin for error for either SP, but I think they’ll control the early innings.<\/p>\n Eugenio Suarez to Record a Hit (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n Given the 5.5-run over\/under, there is just one player (Gleyber Torres) with odds shorter than -165 to get a hit. Eugenio Suarez has a tough matchup against Skubal, but with Suarez holding the platoon advantage, I’ll bite on him to notch at hit at near even-money odds.<\/p>\n Against lefties this year, Suarez amassed a 41.9% hard-hit rate and 59.0% fly-ball rate. His wOBA in the split was only .301, but that’s because he recorded an impossibly low .141 BABIP in the split despite his quality batted-ball numbers.<\/p>\n He’ll likely hit fifth in the lineup, giving him a good shot for at least four trips to the plate, and Suarez ended the regular season on a high note after initially struggling in Seattle, registering a .393 wOBA over his last 45 plate appearances.<\/p>\n You can also download our\u00a0free 2025 MLB playoffs printable bracket<\/a>\u00a0to follow along all postseason.<\/p>\n All customers get a 30% Profit Boost<\/a> for any wager on any MLB Playoff game(s) happening October 10th!
