Mariners vs Giants: Spring Training Matchup Of West Coast Squads

Mariners Looking For More Power

The Mariners are hitting .348 so far this spring, but they are just right around the league average when it comes to runs scored. Seattle has done a nice job of getting players on base, but it has really struggled to drive those runners in.

Third baseman Ty France leads the Mariners with four home runs, and he could be looking at a breakout season for Seattle. First baseman Evan White has knocked in 11 runs, and he is another young talent on this roster.

Right-hander Justin Dunn is expected to make the start for the Mariners, and he will be looking to make an impression on the coaching staff. Seattle does have some holes in its rotation, and that will be one area that needs to be cleaned up before the start of the regular season.

DeSclafani Takes Ball For Giants

San Francisco will be sending Anthony DeSclafani to the mound on Thursday night, and he figures to be a large part of the Giants’ success. DeSclafani has already picked up a spring training win, and he could have his way with this weak Mariners lineup.

Third baseman Evan Longoria looks ready to begin the regular season, leading the Giants with three home runs and nine runs batted in this spring. San Francisco actually leads all of baseball with a .372 on-base percentage, and that could be a sign of things to come when the real games begin.

San Francisco Takes Control

Even though this game has no impact on the 2021 MLB regular season, now is the time that teams start to look at building momentum heading into the season opener. Regular players are starting to see more playing time, and you will see pitchers go deeper into the game.

The Giants have a clear edge in the starting pitching matchup, as DeSclafani is expected to be a key contributor for San Francisco this season. Seattle is hoping to use a number of pitchers to get through this game, but it has a lot of holes on its pitching staff.

San Francisco could be one of the surprise teams in the National League West, especially if it hits the ball well. Seattle has been a solid offensive team this spring, but it just doesn’t have enough power to score runs.

Look for San Francisco to take control of this game early behind a strong outing from DeSclafani. The Giants pick up a win over a Seattle team that is still searching for an identity.
