Coming off of a season first series sweep against the Kansas City Royals, the Seattle Mariners look to continue that success against the Tampa Bay Rays, themselves coming off of a series win against the Red Sox. The Mariners have been scorching hot, and a mostly sunny, evening game in Tampa sitting around the 80 degree mark will only facilitate that continuing.
The series promises to be a contentious one from two of the best teams in baseball right now, with veterans and rookies alike being key contributors from both dugouts. For a better picture on how the teams match up be sure to check out Zach and Jake’s brilliant-as-always series preview here.
