The Seattle Mariners (31–26) enter today's series finale against the Minnesota Twins (31–26) with momentum from a thrilling 5–4 extra-innings victory on May 31. The win was highlighted by top prospect Cole Young's walk-off RBI in his major league debut. This victory snapped a brief slump for the Mariners, who had lost five of their previous seven games. The Twins, after a strong May performance, have shown signs of vulnerability, losing four of their last six games. The series is tied 1–1, setting the stage for a decisive matchup at T-Mobile Park.

Seattle's pitching staff, led by ace Luis Castillo, provides a significant advantage. Castillo boasts a 4–3 record with a 3.32 ERA and 70 strikeouts over 62.1 innings. His command and ability to limit hard contact make him a formidable opponent. In contrast, Twins starter Chris Paddack holds a 2–5 record with a 3.92 ERA, and his recent outings have been less consistent.

The Mariners are powered by catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the team with 22 home runs and 44 RBIs. Shortstop J.P. Crawford contributes a .267 batting average and a .386 on-base percentage, setting the table for the middle of the lineup. The team's balanced offense and ability to produce runs in clutch situations have been key to their success.

Seattle has a solid home record of 15–14, and their performance at T-Mobile Park has been a cornerstone of their season. The Mariners are 4–2 in their last six games against American League Central opponents, indicating their competitiveness within the division. Furthermore, the team has shown resilience, bouncing back effectively after losses.

While the Twins have a respectable 9–4 record in their last 13 road games, their recent struggles and the Mariners' home-field advantage tilt the scales in Seattle's favor.
