The Arizona Diamondbacks enter their game against the Seattle Mariners with renewed confidence following back-to-back road wins and an uptick in offensive production. They’ve scored 21 runs in their last three games and appear to be turning the corner after a rough patch in mid-May. Seattle, meanwhile, remains overly reliant on their pitching staff, particularly the top end of their rotation. But with their starter for this game coming off a shaky outing and the offence struggling to generate consistent production, the Mariners could be vulnerable in this spot. Arizona has the type of aggressive approach that tends to give Seattle’s middle relievers trouble.

Advanced metrics give Arizona an edge at the plate. Their team batting average and slugging percentage over the last ten games have both trended upwards, and they’ve been more efficient with runners in scoring position. The Diamondbacks’ starter has also been consistent, going at least six innings in four of his last five starts and holding hitters to a sub-.200 average over that span. Seattle’s starter, by contrast, has allowed multiple earned runs in three straight starts and has been vulnerable to the long ball, especially against right-handed hitters.

This matchup favours Arizona in terms of recent form, offensive depth, and bullpen trustworthiness. The Mariners’ late-inning relief has faltered in close games lately, and Arizona has taken advantage of similar setups against teams with comparable bullpens. With better situational hitting, improved starting pitching, and more consistency up and down the lineup, the Diamondbacks are in a strong position to come away with a win on the road.
