Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have had a rough start to the season, losing six of their first ten games. Despite a solid rotation and a potential MVP candidate in Julio Rodriguez, the team's low rankings in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS are concerning. The Mariners also rank low in home runs and RBIs. The pitching staff has posted a 4.94 ERA and is 23rd in WHIP. Kirby will be starting for the team on Tuesday night, hoping to improve on his recent performance. Seattle is currently ranked 27th in offense, 15th in defense, and has a power ranking of 26. The team has a record of 4-6 for the season, and questions linger about their ability to make the postseason in 2024.
