The Mariners haven’t been an explosive offense recently, batting just .230 over their last ten games, and they’re dealing with injuries that have impacted the lineup. Meanwhile, Seattle’s pitching staff has posted a dominant 2.38 ERA over that same stretch.

Miami has been playing good baseball, but loanDepot Park remains one of the more pitcher-friendly environments in the majors. The Marlins are expected to send Janson Junk to the mound, and with Seattle’s offense struggling to generate consistency away from home, runs could be at a premium.

With an ace-level arm on one side, a strong Mariners bullpen behind him, and an offense that has been trending downward, this game profiles as a tight, low-scoring battle.
