Seattle Mariners 2021 Season – Over/Under
Kyle Lewis – 30 Home runs
Chip Clark – Over
Kyle Lewis has the skills to be a perennial 30 (homers) – 30 (steals) – 30 (doubles) player. I believe his end of 2020 slump began after opposing teams realized the man behind him in the order, Kyle Seager, wasn’t hitting. As a consequence, they pitched around Lewis, and he started chasing. I think he learned his lesson. Additionally, there is more protection for him in the batting order.
Chris Phillips – Over
It’ll be close, but I think he hits 31 this year. This year the baseball is reported to be deadened, compared to last year. It’s yet to be determined how much of an impact this will make for the hitters. I’ve been a fan of KLewis since he was drafted and have said that as long as he remains healthy (no major injury like he’s already experienced), he’s going to be special.
Ed Stein – Push
Actually, I think he’ll be right at 30 homers. Sometimes a hitter has to take singles and doubles when they’re available. Once Lewis learns to go with pitches, he’ll be a more dangerous hitter.
Joe Swenson – Over
I have him hitting between 32-37 home runs this season. He likes to hit home runs in bunches. There would be plenty of opportunity for protection from the Mariner’s line-up, giving him better pitches to hit.
