Best MLB Bets Today – Free (Sunday 8/27)

Welcome to another Sunday edition of MLB Best Bets! The Seattle Mariners kept our winning ways flowing with an absolute explosion at the plate against Jordan Lyles and the Kansas City Royals. This afternoon, we will once again attack the streaking Mariners, as they close out a weekend set at home against the Royals. 

Seattle Mariners vs. Kansas City Royals

Seattle has now won nine of their last 10 games and will look to make it six straight wins against the Royals. Kansas City will hand the ball to their 15th-ranked prospect, the 25-year-old right-hander Alec Marsh. Marsh has had his struggles this year and enters with an 0-5 record and a 5.56 ERA across 10 appearances. 

Julio Rodríguez and the Mariners lineup will look to welcome Marsh with open arms in their second crack at the young righty. In their first matchup, Rodriguez got the best of Marsh and tallied two hits and one RBI.

Marsh’s pitch mix to RHB makes me love this spot for Julio. Over his 10 appearances, March has used his slider and four-seam fastball 85% of the time. Below, I will showcase Rodriguez success against those pitches.

Julio Rodríguez o1.5 Total Bases 

(-115, 1 Unit, DraftKings Sportsbook)

Julio has been the engine that gets this Mariners lineup rolling over this amazing stretch they’ve had. He’s covered at least 2 total bases in 7 of his last 10 games and in 4 straight meetings against the Royals. Today we’ll back the young rising star to get the bats going once again in Seattle. Best of luck!
