It's been no secret that the Seattle Mariners' biggest strength lies in their pitching and their biggest weakness lies in their batting. Frustrating, to say the least, because our batting has let down our pitching over and over again. Wasting a starting rotation as strong as the one the Mariners have this year feels criminal. But just how historically weird has this season been? Well, the Mariners have the best ERA (3.53) in baseball and the worst batting average (.216). And well, this hasn't happened since 1937.
Here is just how weird this Seattle Mariners season has been:
The Mariners currently have the lowest ERA (3.53) and lowest batting average (.216) among all AL/NL teams this season. The last team to finish a season ranked as such were the 1937 Boston Bees.
