The Numbers Tell the Story
Seattle is 3-3 early in the season, sitting 1.5 games back in the AL West as of April 1. The Mariners showed real pop last season, slugging .420 as a team with 3.0 extra base hits per game. At home, where they play tonight, Seattle went 51-30 last year, so T-Mobile Park should feel like friendly territory.
New York is 4-1, fresh off a 94-68 season where they averaged 5.2 runs per game while surrendering 4.2. The Yankees went 44-37 on the road last year, so they're comfortable in hostile environments.
Injury Report
The Mariners are dealing with some early-season rust on the shelf. Carlos Vargas (lat), Bryce Miller (oblique), and Miles Mastrobuoni (calf) are out. J.P. Crawford (shoulder) and Logan Evans (arm on 60-day) are also sidelined. The Yankees aren't healthy either, missing Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon to elbow injuries, plus Clarke Schmidt (60-day elbow) and Anthony Volpe (shoulder).
First pitch is tonight at 4:10 p.m. Winner takes the series. Let's go, M's.
