Implied Win %: Projected Win %: On April 12, 2024, the Seattle Mariners will take on the Chicago Cubs at T-Mobile Park in a highly anticipated Interleague matchup. The Mariners, with a disappointing 5-8 record this season, will be looking to turn their fortunes around against the Cubs, who are enjoying a great season with a 7-5 record. The Mariners will have the home-field advantage in this game, hoping that the support of their fans will give them the boost they need. The Cubs, on the other hand, will be aiming to spoil the Mariners' homecoming. Bryce Miller is projected to start on the mound for the Mariners. As a right-handed pitcher, Miller has shown promise with a solid 3.00 ERA this year. However, advanced-stat Power Rankings consider him below average compared to other pitchers in MLB. His expected ERA and Fielding Independent Pitching suggest that he may have been lucky this year and could see a decline in performance going forward. Opposing Miller will be Jordan Wicks, a left-handed pitcher for the Cubs. Wicks has shown average performance this season, with a 4.15 ERA. However, his Expected Fielding Independent Pitching indicates that he may have been unlucky, suggesting the potential for improvement in future outings. The Mariners' offense has struggled this season, ranking as the 29th best in MLB. They have a below-average team batting average and rank 18th in home runs and stolen bases. In contrast, the Cubs boast the 6th best offense in MLB, with a strong team batting average and ranking 12th in home runs and 6th in stolen bases. In terms of bullpen strength, the Mariners rank 26th in MLB, while the Cubs rank 13th. This could play a significant role in the outcome of the game, as both teams rely on their relief pitchers to close out games. Looking at the projections, Miller is expected to pitch an average of 5.4 innings and allow 2.2 earned runs, while striking out 5.7 batters. However, he is projected to struggle with allowing hits and walks. On the other side, Wicks is projected to pitch an average of 4.8 innings, allowing 2.2 earned runs and striking out 4.9 batters. He, too, is expected to struggle with hits and walks. The betting markets anticipate a close game, with the Mariners favored at -120 and the Cubs at +100. The implied win probability for the Mariners is 52%, while the Cubs have a 48% chance of winning. Based on the current odds, the Mariners have an average implied team total of 4.10 runs, while the Cubs have an average implied team total of 3.90 runs. The Chicago Cubs outfield defense grades out as the 7th-weakest out of every team playing today. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Nico Hoerner in the 96th percentile when it comes to his batting average talent. As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Bryce Miller is expected to ring up an average of 16.4 outs in this matchup. Mitch Garver has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (80% of the time), but he is penciled in 6th in the batting order in this game. Mitch Garver pulls a lot of his flyballs (41.9% — 99th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game's 9th-shallowest LF fences today.
