The Atlanta Braves stumbled through their penultimate road trip of the 2025 season by dropping the last two match-ups of their three series trip.
They return home to face the Seattle Mariners, who despite making several aggressive moves at the trade deadline to make a push for a deep post season run, have collapsed in the last three weeks and now find themselves trailing in the American League West and barely hanging on to the last AL Wild Card spot.
The Braves will debut their new shortstop, Ha-Seong
Kim, in Atlanta while looking to play the role of spoiler with the Mariners and subsequently with the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros during their first September home stand.
On offense, the Mariners are led by AL MVP hopeful and Home Run Derby champ, catcher Cal Raleigh. They also have star outfielders Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena who are both having excellent seasons. Trade pick-ups Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez have struggled since coming over in separate deals from the Arizona Diamondbacks; but Suarez does have a four home run game against Atlanta this season. And former Braves hitting coach Kevin Seitzer will make his return to Atlanta for the first time since his departure after last season.
On the mound, starting pitcher Bryan Woo leads a rotation that has been otherwise uninspiring. Their bullpen has been solid and includes Gabe Speier, who has been their second-best reliever, and spent about three weeks in the Braves organization in the 2015 off-season.
