Series Preview: Mariners (9-2) at Royals (2-6)

It’s hard to believe the Mariners are just a couple of bullpen meltdowns away from being undefeated to start this season. They’re scoring 7.3 runs per game which is just bonkers. They’ve hit a home run in every game they’ve played this year and multiple home runs in eight of them. It seems like everyone in the lineup has bought into the “elevate and celebrate” mantra. The Mariners are leading all of baseball in fly ball rate but they haven’t completely sold out for power. They’re second in the AL in walk rate and are running the lowest chase rate in the majors.
