The Boston Red Sox continue their West Coast road trip, as they play the Seattle Mariners in a four-game series.
The Red Sox (16-18) sit in fourth place in the American League East division, while the Mariners (15-18) are in the middle of the AL West pack. After taking two of three games from the Oakland Athletics, the Red Sox have improved their away record to .500 (9-9), and will be looking to continue that trend in Seattle. The Mariners are 5-5 in their last 10 games, but have a winning record at home (9-8), this season.
By all accounts, it looks to be a close series, one that either team could win. Let’s look at the tale of the tape:
