Scouting the Dane Dunning-Bryce Miller pitching matchup as the Texas Rangers open a crucial series against the Seattle Mariners with a MLB playoff spot on the...
Dunning usually attacks with his sinker, but has started working in his cutter more and more, especially as a weapon against left-handed hitters. The Mariners will run a balanced lineup out, but the biggest threat is right-handed hitting Julio Rodriguez. He’s 3 for 13 against Dunning in his career, but only has faced him twice this season and hitting .291 with five homers and a .360 xwOBA against right-handers with Dunning’s pitch profile.
He allowed six singles in six innings and one walk.There are not many starters who rely on the four-seamer as much as Miller, who has used the pitch 59.5% of the time this year, fourth highest among the 130 pitchers who have thrown at least 1,500 pitches this season. The pitch – a 95 mph heater – has been kryptonite for the Rangers’ offense this year. Against right-handers throwing the pitch that hard, the Rangers are hitting just .226, 20th of 30 teams in the majors.
