The Mariners travel to the Mistake on the Lake to see if they can put some of their own recent follies behind them. They will have the luxury of playing a Guardians team that lacks its best player, as José Ramírez is still on the IL as a participant in the Year of the Hamate. And their second-best player, Steven Kwan, has been less than his usual self this season, as Davy Andrews recently broke down over at FanGraphs.
Luis Castillo will take the ball for the Mariners. Notwithstanding an unfortunate
combination of batted-ball luck and sequencing luck in his last start, Castillo’s actually been a lot better recently. Since May 9, he’s posted a K%-BB% of 16.6% against a BAA of .210. Some of that is from limiting his exposure to a third time through the lineup, but the improvements have held in his non-piggyback starts.
Southpaw Joey Cantillo gets the start for Cleveland, so, you know, hold on to your butts.
Lineups
The Mariners have heard your clamoring, and Canzone not only gets a start against a lefty, but in the leadoff spot. Unfortunately, they have not heard your complaining, and Rob Refsnyder continues to see time.
I have no idea who’s in the Guardians lineup because all I can look at here is Joey Cantillo’s pitchface.
