Atlanta Braves probable pitchers and starting lineups vs. Seattle Mariners
The Braves make their first west coast trip of the year as they open up a series with Seattle’s strong pitching staff.
By Chase Owens
The Atlanta Braves make their first west coast trip of the year coming off an exciting 7-2 homestand. Fresh off an exciting extra innings win over the Guardians, the Braves surely had a happy flight to Seattle.
Now the dangerous Atlanta Braves offense will look to overpower perhaps the most impressive pitching staff in baseball. The Mariners have the third lowest team ERA (3.10) and lowest WHIP (1.05) in Major League Baseball.
The Seattle starting rotation has anchored the team with a string of impressive starts. The Mariners have now seen their starter allow two or fewer earned runs while notching at least five strikeouts in each of the last 16 games, which is the longest streak by any team since ER became an official stat in 1913 via OptaSTATS. Maybe a Jarred Kelenic revenge tour is what’s needed to end Seattle’s magical pitching run.
Let’s check out the starting lineups and pitchers for tonight’s game.
Probable starting pitchers
Max Fried (2-0, 4.97 ERA) takes the mound coming off his complete game shutout performance versus the Marlins. It’ll be hard to top his latest performance, but Max will look to shutdown Julio Rodriguez and the M’s offense to continue his own hot streak. Fried’s command was superbly better last time out, so look for him to get ahead in the count early and often.
Bryce Miller (3-2, 2.22 ERA) is one of the many young studs in Seattle’s rotation. He is coming off a solid rookie campaign, and his first five starts in his sophmore season have yielded good results. Miller pitches off his big fastball that averages 95 mph. After that, Miller offers a splitter and sinker, both of which he throws around 20% of the time.
