New York at Seattle

Seattle has won eight straight games, sweeping through the first two contests of this Mets series at T-Mobile Park — including an 8-3 shellacking yesterday, powered by three home runs. The Mariners are 8-2 over their last ten and have gone deep 21 times during the winning streak. George Kirby has seen his ERA inflate over his recent turns, but the team keeps producing behind him, and his walk rate remains under control — the command is still there. Freddy Peralta is the concern on the other side: he's been running close to a 3.50 ERA over his last three starts and has a well-documented problem getting past the fifth inning cleanly, which means New York's bullpen gets stretched early. The Mets are 11-20 on the road and have dropped five straight away from home. This series has belonged to Seattle from the start, and the finale follows the same script. The Mariners close out the sweep.
