Looking at this anticipated game between the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners, one cannot simply ignore the starting pitchers. Miami Marlins are pinning their hopes on Cal Quantrill, whose performance this season has certainly been less than inspiring with an 8.42 ERA and 4.2 K/9. The Mariners, on the other hand, are relying on Logan Gilbert, who has presented a stronger force on the mound boasting a solid 2.73 ERA and an impressive 14 K/9 this season. Seems like he's been enjoying his fishing outings, eh?
As for Miami's shining stars, Javier Sanoja has been doing decently with a 0.341 batting average and 1 homer under his belt. Kyle Stowers and Matt Mervis also have their moments, but compared to Seattle's lineup, seems like they have been a bit, well, "out of tune" with their performance.
Seattle's got their own powerhouses to put up. We've got Jorge Polanco swimming strong, showing up with a 0.339 batting average and 4 home runs. And what about Cal Raleigh? He's been hitting those home runs like it's a walk in the park. Dylan Moore and Randy Arozarena are also putting numbers on the board, making the Marlins' sharks look more like guppies.
Taking a glance at their previous encounters, it's a bit of a mixed bag. But don't forget the recent run of form, folks! Seattle Mariners have been scoring higher than a rock star on tour with three wins in their five recent games, whereas the Marlins seem like they are having a bit of a struggle with their current record.
So, keeping all these specifics under consideration, including T-Mobile Park's favor towards the pitchers (much to Gilbert’s advantage), I'd say that when the Marlins swim into Seattle's territory, they're going to find themselves in rough waters.
