Mariners Games #160/161 Preview: DET at SEA

After the Mariners got booted from WC1 contention last night, today’s games are essentially meaningless except wherein it might help determine WC2 vs. WC3. The Mariners and Rays are involved in a race to the bottom for the opportunity to play Cleveland at home vs. Toronto so today’s games promise to be...perhaps less than stellar. On the flip side, that offers the opportunity for one of LL’s favorite things: WEIRD BASEBALL.

Let’s get weird:

Lineups for Game 1:

This is the less-weird of the two rosters we’ll see, with the only hiccup being Adam Frazier in left field; Jesse Winker will get the start in Game 2, when the Tigers aren’t throwing a lefty on the mound, although whether that will be at DH or in LF is yet to be determined.
