Seattle Mariners Analysis

Bryan Woo is set to be the Mariners' pitcher to close out the series, having performed solidly in his previous outing. Woo has been the team's top pitcher with impressive stats, including a 2.82 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. The Mariners have had some recent struggles, dropping series against the Nationals and the Twins. J.P.

Baltimore Orioles Struggle Continues as Seattle Mariners Pitching Matchup Favors Opponents

The Baltimore Orioles have struggled during the current season, particularly on the road where they have only managed to win 11 out of 30 games. The recent improvement in their performance does not overshadow their overall disappointing record. In the upcoming game against the Seattle Mariners, the pitching matchup definitely favors the Mariners. Orioles pitcher Zach Eflin had a challenging month in May, posting a 5.64 ERA, while Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo has been consistent, allowing two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, including games against strong teams like the Yankees and Padres. With a 2.58 ERA in the previous month, Woo has been a reliable asset for the Mariners. Considering these statistics, it is likely that the Mariners will have the upper hand in this matchup.
