The Seattle Mariners have fixed the road woes that plagued them through the first half of the season, as the M’s have gone 6-1 in their past seven games away from Safeco Field. Before this impressive stretch of play on the road, the Mariners were 15-25 while traveling and looked to be an afterthought in the wild card race. The Mariners hope to keep their road success rolling when they kick off a three-game set with the Texas Rangers Monday.
- Kyle Seager is slashing .333/.412/.667 since the all-star break.
- The Mariners are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games against the Rangers.
- The total has gone OVER in 12 of the Mariners' last 17 games against the Rangers.
After seeing his velocity decrease and spending nearly two months on the DL, Felix Hernandez is starting to find his rhythm once again. King Felix has allowed one or fewer runs in three of his past four starts while registering 26 strikeouts to seven walks. The 12-year veteran is still figuring out how to work without the blinding speed his fastball used to have but still has plenty of movement on his pitches.
Cole Hamels is coming off back-to-back mediocre performances, as the lefty has surrendered 15 hits, 11 earned runs and four home runs in his past 11.1 innings of work. To make matters worse for Hamels, he has a career 5.14 ERA in 11 starts against the M’s.
