The Mariners have had about as bad a two week stretch as you could imagine and the schedule isn’t letting up anytime soon. On the heels of losing their first home series since mid-April, the M’s will welcome one of the best teams in the American League for another big test of their mettle. Thankfully, T-Mobile Park has been a relative bastion for the ballclub; Seattle has won two-thirds of their games at home, the second best home record in the AL. They’ll need every advantage they can get as they try to right their listing season.
