Match Details
- Date: 2025-08-17
- Time: 11:11 PM UTC
- Location: BB&T Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, Williamsport, PA
Game Overview
The Seattle Mariners (68-56) face the New York Mets (65-58) in a closely matched contest featuring starting pitchers George Kirby for Seattle and Clay Holmes for New York. Both teams have comparable season records, but recent form and pitching quality suggest subtle edges.
Key Factors to Consider
- Seattle has a slightly better overall record and a pitching staff ERA of 3.82 with a 1.23 WHIP; offensively they average 4.5 runs/game, batting .243 with a .320 OBP. The Mets are struggling with consistency, lacking back-to-back wins since late July, with Holmes showing signs of decline in recent outings.
- Kirby is 0-1 with a 5.14 ERA in his career versus the Mets, but recent Mariners victories and overall pitching form favor Seattle. The teams have split the current series 1-1 with high-scoring games.
- No major injuries reported affecting starting pitchers or key bats for either side.
- Game played at neutral site BB&T Ballpark in Williamsport, removing true home field advantage; weather expected to be neutral for pitching and hitting.
- Seattleβs push to maintain strong playoff positioning in the AL West provides higher motivation than the Mets, who have struggled recently and face multiple upcoming challenges.
