One of Arizona's biggest strengths has been overall offensive consistency. The Diamondbacks own the higher team batting average, more runs scored, more hits, and a better slugging percentage than Seattle. That balanced offensive production has been a major reason why Arizona enters this game with one of the better records in the National League.
Mariners Return Home After a Strong Road Trip
Seattle enters the matchup with a 28-29 overall record and a 14-15 home record. The Mariners have won three straight games after recently sweeping a series against the Athletics. Seattle recently won over the Athletics by scores of 9-1, 4-1, and 9-2 after recently losing two games to Kansas City. The recent surge has helped the Mariners move closer to the .500 mark.
The Mariners are batting .230 with 240 runs, 435 hits, and 66 home runs. Seattle owns a .317 on-base percentage and a .383 slugging percentage. The pitching staff has been one of the team's strengths, posting a 3.54 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Seattle pitchers have also recorded 485 strikeouts while limiting opponents to a .247 batting average.
Seattle's biggest advantage entering this matchup is on the mound. The Mariners own the lower team ERA, lower WHIP, and significantly more strikeouts than Arizona. Their ability to miss bats and limit scoring opportunities has helped keep them competitive even when the offense has not produced at the same level as Arizona.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Seattle Mariners Picks and Prediction
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Seattle Mariners Pick
- Pick: Seattle Mariners Moneyline
This is a close matchup between two teams that are playing well, but Seattle receives the edge because of its pitching advantages. The Mariners own the better team ERA, lower WHIP, and a substantial edge in strikeouts. Seattle also has the stronger starting pitcher based on ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and home runs allowed. While Arizona has been outstanding offensively and enters on a five-game winning streak, the pitching matchup favors Seattle enough to back the home side.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs Seattle Mariners Total Pick
- Pick: Under 7
I am leaning toward the under because both starting pitchers have respectable WHIP numbers, and Seattle enters with one of the stronger pitching staffs in this matchup. The Mariners own a 3.54 team ERA, while Arizona has allowed opponents to hit just .238 against its pitching staff. With a relatively low total already posted and two teams featuring solid pitching numbers, I see a game that stays slightly below the number.
Final Score Prediction: Seattle Mariners 4 – Arizona Diamondbacks 2
