Why you should back the Mariners​

Seattle will deploy a tremendous starting pitcher in Luis Castillo. The two-time All-Star has a 2.99 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP this season, and Castillo has 4.53 strikeouts for every walk since being traded to the Mariners midseason.

Opponents have a .611 OPS against Castillo this season, and he has a 52.7% ground ball rate for his career. When Castillo leaves the game, Seattle's bullpen is also stout, posting a 3.33 ERA with 9.65 strikeouts and only 2.99 walks per nine innings.

On the offensive end, Seattle is incredibly patient, ranking No. 2 in the American League with 596 walks this season.

The Mariners are also in the top five with 197 home runs, and ranks above the American League average in stolen bases, OPS, and triples for the 2022 campaign.
