Royals and Mariners Face Off in a High-Stakes Pitching Duel That Could Change the Season’s Course
The Mariners are doing better than the Royals, but this is going to be a tough season for them to navigate into the postseason as well. They have done better this year offensively than they had last season when they were one of the bottom teams in the league in runs, and top in strikeouts, marks an improvement, but they are pretty much in the same situation. Seattle has done well at home this year, but they stumbled in their most recent homestand. Still, the team sits in second place of the division, and they are four games above .500. They are scoring more runs than the Royals, but their batting average isn’t much higher. Today, the Mariners send out Bryan Woo to the hill. He brings a 7-4 record with a 2.93 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He’s been surprisingly good for Seattle this season. He has been great at home, sporting a 2.08 ERA, allowing just nine earned runs over 39 innings. His end of June was nice, putting together three straight quality starts. His first two starts of June were a bit tougher, allowing nine earned runs combined in those two games. Woo has only had nine at-bats against him from Royals hitters and they are just 1-for-9.
