Per Jake’s series preview, the Mariners had a 40% chance of winning tonight’s game, which honestly felt about right, especially considering the fact that they were coming off a 14-inning slog the day before. Andrew Heaney is objectively the best starter the Angels will roll out during this three-game set (although watch out for that TBD guy, I hear he’s tough), and the last time the Mariners faced him, he struck out 10 and only Edwin Encarnacion managed to do any real damage against him.
Meanwhile, the Mariners were sending Marco Gonzales to the hill.
