Kirby and Mariners Poised on the Edge of Baseball’s Ultimate Showdown—But What’s Standing in Their Way?

Kirby and Mariners Poised on the Edge of Baseball’s Ultimate Showdown—But What’s Standing in Their Way?

The Mariners are another team that I keep in my back pocket of fandom. Hard not to root for Seattle when you’ve watched them with Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Edgar Martinez, Ichiro, and, of course, Ken Griffey Jr. Those names are synonymous with baseball, and even though the teams never really worked out together, Seattle has always been a good sports city. This year the team went all in on the club and has been rewarded with being two wins away from their first World Series. The roster is loaded with hitters, and they showed just how dangerous they can be with a 10-3 win. The pitching staff is very strong, and will look to George Kirby to get them a game away from a sweep. Kirby went 10-8 during the regular season with a 4.21 ERA, but was about two runs better at home than on the road. He went 10 innings against Detroit, outdueling Tarik Skubal (kind of) in the 15-inning match that put them in this series. He allowed jus three runs in the two starts against the Tigers. He did not face Toronto this year, but there is a bit of reason for concern as the Blue Jays have hit .281 against him in 64 at-bats.
