Starting Pitchers Set the Tone

Seattle is expected to start Emerson Hancock, who enters with a 4-2 record, a 2.80 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP, 70.2 innings pitched, 52 hits allowed, 70 strikeouts, 15 walks, and 10 home runs allowed. Baltimore is expected to counter with Chris Bassitt, who comes in at 4-4 with a 5.27 ERA, a 1.63 WHIP, 56.1 innings pitched, 70 hits allowed, 37 strikeouts, 22 walks, and six home runs allowed.

Seattle Looks to Carry Its Pitching Edge

Seattle enters this matchup at 34-31 overall and 15-15 on the road. The Mariners have gone 3-2 over their last five games, recently winning over Detroit and New York while recently losing to Detroit and New York in that same stretch.

Seattle is batting .236 with 274 runs, 510 hits, 84 home runs, a .318 on-base percentage, and a .399 slugging percentage. On the mound, the Mariners carry a 3.47 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, 163 walks, 564 strikeouts, and a .242 opponent batting average.

The biggest strength for Seattle is clearly its pitching profile. The Mariners have the lower ERA, lower WHIP, fewer walks allowed, and more strikeouts compared with Baltimore. That gives Seattle a strong foundation despite being the road team.

Baltimore Tries to Use Home Field to Its Advantage

Baltimore comes into this game with a 31-34 overall record and a 19-15 mark at home. The Orioles have also gone 3-2 over their last five games, recently winning over Toronto and Boston while recently losing to Toronto and Boston.

Baltimore is batting .241 with 305 runs, 524 hits, 75 home runs, a .321 on-base percentage, and a .399 slugging percentage. The Orioles pitching staff has a 4.61 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, 231 walks, 507 strikeouts, and a .263 opponent batting average.

Baltimore’s best argument comes from its run production. The Orioles have scored more runs than Seattle and have a slightly better batting average and on-base percentage. The concern is pitching, where Baltimore trails Seattle in several major categories.
