Seattle Mariners Analysis

The Seattle Mariners have recently won two of their last three series and currently lead the AL West by a game and a half. Despite dropping three out of four games in Houston, the Mariners have been averaging 4.58 runs per game and have a .237/.325/.397 slash line. However, their offensive performance has declined in the last two weeks, with a .223/.304/.360 slash line. The Mariners are also surrendering an average of 4.21 runs per game. George Kirby is set to pitch on Wednesday, but he had a tough season debut last Thursday against the Astros. The Mariners have a power ranking of 25 and are ranked 10th in offense and 15th in defense. The Washington Nationals have a 2-1 advantage over the Mariners in their recent matchups.

George Kirby looks to dominate Nationals in home debut at T-Mobile Park

George Kirby is set to improve on his performance in his season debut against the Washington Nationals at T-Mobile Park. Kirby has a strong track record at T-Mobile Park, with a 2.99 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in his 42 career starts at the venue. Despite the Nationals' impressive wRC+ against right-handed pitchers in the last 10 days, I am confident that Kirby will deliver a solid performance for his team. The Mariners, on the other hand, have struggled against righties lately but have a favorable matchup against Trevor Williams, who has struggled this season. Keep an eye on Julio Rodriguez, who has had success against Williams in the past. Additionally, the Nationals' bullpen has been unreliable this season, further solidifying my decision to back the Mariners in this matchup. The absence of key players like Paul DeJong, Jacob Young, and Dylan Crews also gives the Mariners an edge over the Nationals.
