Dominic Canzone Was Jacob Fetner's Mariners Bomb Pick, But That 5-3 Loss to the O's Stings
Ugh, Mariners faithful, what a night. You've gotta love the energy around a big game at T-Mobile Park, but sometimes it just doesn't break our way. We had some hope riding high, especially when we heard about SportsLine data analyst Jacob Fetner's picks, and guess who was on his radar for a home run? Our guy, Dominic Canzone! But even with an expert eyeing a bomb, the Baltimore Orioles rolled into the Emerald City and handed us a tough 5-3 loss. That one just hurts, doesn't it?
The Home Run Whisperer Had His Eye On Us
Okay, so let's talk about this Jacob Fetner dude. He's not just some random armchair analyst, apparently. This guy was up a massive 50 units on his MLB home run picks last year on those betting sites. And get this, he just revealed three prop bets for today, June 18th. Just last Friday, two of his three picks actually went yard, with the Brewers' Jake Bauers and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez both hitting dingers, Alvarez even slugging two! Last week alone, Fetner nailed five home run picks, including one with crazy +650 odds. He even hit a home run parlay a few weeks back that paid out over 30-1. So, when this guy points to one of our own, we pay attention!

Canzone's Shot and Buxton's Power Surge
For Thursday, Fetner's best MLB HR bets included Twins outfielder Byron Buxton, Mets player Jared Young, and our very own Dominic Canzone. Canzone was at +475 odds, a solid longshot pick to go deep. We were all hoping he'd come through and spark something, especially against the O's. Now, while we were focused on Canzone, Fetner also broke down why he liked Byron Buxton so much. Buxton is absolutely tearing it up, sitting third in baseball with a ridiculous 23 home runs already. The dude has gone deep in three of his last five games and in five of his last eight contests, just an absolute beast at the plate.
Fetner specifically pointed out Buxton's road power, saying, "Byron Buxton has three home runs over his last five games on the road." He noted Buxton's dominance against right-handed pitching this season, hitting a strong .270 with a .977 OPS in 204 plate appearances. Get this, 19 of his 23 homers this season have come off righties! The only wrinkle Fetner mentioned was that Buxton's been significantly better at home with a 1.115 OPS compared to his .774 OPS on the road. So, he was on the tougher side of that split today. Still, the expert believed in the power.
Man, it just feels like we needed that kind of power from somewhere tonight. With the Orioles taking us down 5-3, it's a gut punch. We saw some good stuff, but not enough to overcome that deficit. We gotta dust ourselves off and come back stronger. Every game counts, and we need our bats to wake up consistently. Looking ahead to the next one, we need to show up and prove we're better than this. Let's go M's, we believe in you!
