Seattle Mariners Struggling To Hit Early On In the Season And Milwaukee Brewers Will Look To Exploit It
In the first seven games of the 2024 season, Seattle has struggled to hit the baseball. They have only scored three or more runs in two of those seven games. Milwaukee’s starting pitching will look to pitch well against a lineup that is currently struggling for manager Scott Servais.
Ty France has the best batting average on the Mariners to start this season at .320. He only has one RBI to show for it.
Mitch Hangier so far this season for Seattle has a .261 batting average with one home run and three RBIs, along with a .346 on-base percentage.
Dominic Canzone has a .118 batting average with one home run and three RBIs this season for the Seattle Mariners. It’s early in the season but they will need to get it going at some point. Seattle is 2.5 back of the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels in the American League West.
As for the Milwaukee Brewers, they are one game back of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Central. This series between Seattle and Milwaukee should be a good one, but the Brewers are the better team early on compared to the Mariners.
