Mariners vs. Reds Prediction

Tonight, we’re looking at a juicy matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners, with the wind blowing outward — ideal conditions for balls to fly. On the mound for Seattle is Luis Castillo, a solid arm but one who’s been vulnerable to the long ball, especially vs. left-handed hitters, allowing a 2.00 HR/9 to lefties so far this season.

Enter Elly De La Cruz, who’s been an absolute dawg and a major problem at the plate. The elite switch-hitter is especially dangerous from the left side, and he matches up beautifully against Castillo’s fastball-heavy mix. Castillo throws his fastball nearly 50% of the time (49.02%), and Elly has been crushing that pitch — with a 28.57% barrel rate, 66.67% hard-hit rate, and already 3 bombs off fastballs this season.

With the wind pushing out, the ball jumping, and the matchup lining up, this is a great spot for Elly to leave the yard again.
