Seattle Mariners Team Preview

The Seattle Mariners entered the season projected to compete with the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros for the AL West Division title and although they enter this game one game under .500 at 9-10, the Mariners only trail the Texas Rangers by one game for 1st place in the division.

The Mariners have also been playing with a lot more consistency over their last seven games as they have compiled a record of 5-2 during that stretch and are coming off a 3-0 series sweep at home against the Cincinnati Reds in which they won by an average margin of 4 runs per game.

The Mariners will now face one of the worst teams in the National League, the Colorado Rockies, and will look to continue their winning ways in a series they have won six of the last ten including three straight while winning by an average margin of 3.33 runs per game over the last three meetings.

The Seattle Mariners will look to extend their winning streak to four games and their winning streak in the series to four games when they travel to face the Colorado Rockies.

They are on a five-game losing streak while also losing seven of their last eight games and have lost by an average margin of 2.8 runs per game during their losing streak.
