Lean UNDER 7.5 with Hancock's sharp command facing baseball's weakest offense.

Seattle's league-worst run production and both starters' low WHIPs cap the ceiling.

The market is essentially pick-em at ML TB -102 / SEA -106, and the de-vigged team totals of 3.7 and 3.8 add to exactly the 7.5 line, so the number is efficiently priced. The soft spot is the total rather than the side, since Seattle's implied 3.8 looks generous for a league-worst offense. No side edge stands out at these prices.

Hancock has the clear edge here, pairing a 2.25 BB/9 with a tidy 1.07 WHIP that signals strong command and limited traffic. Seymour misses more bats at 10.59 K/9 but his 3.00 BB/9 and 4.27 ERA point to a shakier profile. The efficiency gap favors Seattle's arm on strike-throwing and run prevention.

Tampa Bay brings a contact-oriented lineup, ranking 3rd in AVG but a modest 23rd in HR/game, so their damage comes in singles more than stacks against Hancock. Seattle is the polar opposite bat-for-bat, dead last in both runs and average, which makes their lineup a tough matchup for Seymour despite his walk issues. Neither side profiles as a premium full-stack tonight.

DFS Angles

Lean lightly on Tampa Bay bats given their 3rd-ranked AVG, but this is a low-total game with no strong stack appeal on either side. Seattle's league-worst offense is a fade in cash.

Target Hancock as the cleaner arm at 3.33 ERA in a favorable spot against Seattle-facing volatility. Seymour's strikeout upside (10.59 K/9) makes him a GPP dart despite the 4.27 ERA.
