This year, as in recent years, the Seattle Mariners have had a consistent, stalwart pitching staff attempting to hold off opponents just enough for a tepid offense to earn them the lead. Much of that is simply performance - Seattle has an above-average pitching staff anchored by a top-5 rotation that almost never provides uncompetitive outings. Meanwhile, their lineup entered the season without a slam dunk No. 3 hitter and they’ve seen mild to massive underperformance to expectations from most of their hitters. However, their home park has played a significant role in this gruesome and/or glorious display depending on the half inning.
T-Mobile Park is a hitter’s house of horrors
