The tour of east coast teams continues as the Red Sox make their only appearance in Seattle this week. After dropping their four-game series against the Yankees, the Mariners need to turn this homestand around against the AL East leader. The pitching matchups promise two very competitive games to start and a looming matchup against Chris Sale to wrap up the series. The familiar narrative is that the Mariners have really struggled against left-handed pitching the last few years. That was definitely true in 2014 and ’15, but the past two years the Mariners have done well to break that narrative.
Series Preview: Mariners (49-51) vs. Red Sox (55-45)
