Road Teams Picking Up W’s Between Rockies, Mariners
The Colorado Rockies look to avoid their fourth consecutive loss to the Seattle Mariners when they round out their two-and-two at Safeco Field on Thursday. Though the Rockies lost the game in Seattle on Wednesday, road teams have gone 9-3 SU overall in the past 12 meetings between the two teams.
The Rockies have shown faith in Kyle Freeland and the rookie hasn’t disappointed, working his way out of jams and recording seven quality starts through his first 10 outings. The lefty has also been incredibly efficient, throwing fewer than 97 pitches in all 10 of his outings this season.
Yovani Gallardo has been hard to watch this season but it has been especially dreadful at Safeco Field. In five home starts this season, Gallardo has posted a 7.00 ERA while allowing opponents to hit .306. To make matters worse, Gallardo has a 5.70 ERA in 11 career appearances, 10 starts, against the Colorado Rockies.
The typically potent Rockies offense has struggled during this series, averaging 3.0 runs per game and batting just .191. Nolan Arenado finds himself in a slump at the plate with one hit in the past five games. The once middling Mariners bats have come alive, averaging 6.5 runs per game during their current four-game winning streak. Kyle Seager has been red-hot at the plate, going 8-for-19 with four extra-base hits and six RBIs in the past four.
