Arizona Diamondbacks Set to Continue Offensive Dominance Against Struggling Seattle Mariners

The Arizona Diamondbacks have exhibited strong offensive performances in their recent road games, scoring a total of 18 runs across three games. This trend is likely to continue in their upcoming game against the Seattle Mariners, as Kirby, the Mariners' pitcher, has faced difficulties on the mound in his last four starts, allowing a total of 15 runs. Kirby's struggle is particularly evident in his home starts, where he has given up 10 runs in his last two outings.

On the other hand, the Mariners have won three of their last five games, despite scoring only nine runs in their last three games due to offensive struggles. These struggles are expected to persist in their upcoming game, especially considering their recent track record against right-handed pitchers. Additionally, Cecconi, Arizona's pitcher, showed promising performance in his first start by only allowing two runs. With a strong bullpen, the Diamondbacks are in a good position to limit Seattle's offensive capabilities. It would be prudent to consider Arizona to cover the money line in this matchup.
