Still Don’t Trust Alex Wood

Alex Wood has been up-and-down this season. He’s a veteran pitcher who has been through it all. However, his stats are still glaringly bad this season.

Wood has allowed a .189 ISO and wOBA of .394 with low-ground balls and a high line drive percentage. The lefty has also struck out only 18.5% of batters and has walked 9.8%.

He’ll face a Mariners lineup that isn’t very consistent, either. However, Dylan Moore, Mitch Garver and Luis Urias are three bats to look at against Wood who can do damage.

The Mariners don’t need a whole lot of runs with Luis Castillo on the mound.

A Massive Pitching Advantage

As I just stated, Luis Castillo will take the hill for the Mariners. He’s struck out 28.4% of batters and has only walked 4.6. While he’s had some struggles against lefties, he’s still held 197 batters to a .293 wOBA.

MLB Computer Pick

Oakland has performed way above expectations. Castillo will remind them of that. Back the Mariners at -1.5.
