Tom Murphy on Mariners' bench in Thursday matinee
Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Murphy started the previous three games and four of the last five. Cal Raleigh is replacing Murphy at catcher and hitting ninth Thursday afternoon.
numberFire’s models project Raleigh for 5.9 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mariners currently have the third-lowest implied total (3.7 runs) in the majors on Thursday. Bassitt is registering a 25.2 strikeout percentage and a 5.7 walk percentage this season, with a 3.51 xERA and a .287 xwOBA.
