have a series in Miami against the
Marlins.
The Marlins are 25-49 in the National
league east. They have won two in
a row which could be good or bad
depending how you look at it.
The Marlins beat the St.Louis Cardinals
two out of three at home. All three games
were won by one run. The Mariners are
good in one run games. They are 3-7
in their last ten games so it is not like
they are playing better.
George Kirby will start on Friday. In
his last outing against the Texas
Rangers Kirby went six innings give
up three hits and only one run however
it wasn't earned. He comes anywhere
close to that we should see a victory.
The Mariners have been good in
opening games of series which allows
them to be in first place.
Trevor Rogers will be on the mound
for the Marlins. He has a 5.09 era and a record of 1-8. His last outing Rogers
was against the Washington Nationals.
He went seven innings giving up six hits and two runs. Unfortunately for Rogers the Marlins were shutout.
The Mariners offense has had trouble
with starting pitchers with high era's.
The game before the Nationals was at
home against the Guardians. As we
just witnessed the Guardians are a
good hitting ball club. Rogers gave
up two hits in five innings and one
run. The trouble was he walked four
batter as well as striking out five.
The question is can he pitch three
good games in a row. For the Mariners
sake we hope not. The Mariners have
recently had starters not go five
innings so a repeat would be nice.
I do give the Mariners the edge to win
since they have won several series
openers. The Mariners have won every
series opening gsme except against
the Kansas City Royals. Go M's.
