Brewers vs. Mariners: Why the Total Could Soar Beyond Expectations Tonight

The Mariners are in a similar boat to the Brewers. They are in second place of their division, but they should feel a lot less secure in their place than the Brewers. The Mariners are four games back of the division, but they are in the second Wild Card spot as well. They have quite a few teams chasing them down. The answer for both of these teams is the same – win games and they can find their way into the postseason. Seattle has improved on their hitting from last season, but their pitching has taken a bit of a step back. They are doing better than they had earlier in the season. George Kirby is on the hill today with a 4-4 record and a 4.50 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. Kirby has missed a lot of the season as well with just 54 innings under his belt. Kirby has done better at home than on the road, but it isn’t like he has been flawless. Brewers hitters are just 2-for-15 against him.
