Tampa Bay Rays vs Seattle Mariners Predictions 5/6/2022

After a successful 2021 season but missing the playoffs, the Seattle Mariners are seeking to make a huge leap forward by adding talent in the summer. Seattle was mediocre so far this season, ranking 16th in MLB with a.691 team OPS and a 4.16 run per game average.

J.P. Crawford, the shortstop, supplied some pop this season, going 32-for-88 with four home runs and ten RBI, as well as 12 walks and strikeouts and a stolen base.

Logan Gilbert was on a tear to open the 2022 season, despite his Baseball Savant metrics not reflecting it. His skill to avoid barrels was evident, since his barrel percentage is in the 82nd percentile.
