After the Mariners won 3-1 yesterday against the Braves (thanks to another brilliant start from rookie pitcher George Kirby), both teams come into today hoping to take the series. FanGraphs gave the Mariners a higher chance of winning today’s game than yesterday’s— hopefully the M’s can get some runs off familiar veteran pitcher Jake Odorizzi.

The Braves are rolling out an identical lineup to yesterday’s, except that inexplicably good-hitting catcher Travis D’Arnaud gets an off day; William Contreras will be behind the plate instead. The M’s lineup is fairly shook up compared what we’ve been used to, with Cal Raleigh batting cleanup!
