The Mariners will try to wipe the slate clean today behind Emerson Hancock. He could use a great outing as much as the Mariners could use one from him. Since his first start in May, Hancock has looked less like a breakout star and more like a somewhat improved version of his old self. Over that time, his K%-BB% is down to just 12%, and he\u2019s outrunning his peripherals on the back of a .200 BABIP. That\u2019s all fine, and even that version of Hancock has more of a career in front of him than the guy who finished last season. But one hopes he can adjust back now that the league has clearly adjusted to him.<\/p>\n
The Nats will counter with PJ Poulin, who will work as an opener in front of Miles Mikolas.<\/p>\n
With Randy Arozarena still down with the hamstring issue and Julio Rodr\u00edguez getting a DH day, we\u2019ll see an outfield of Luke Raley, V\u00edctor Robles, and Dominic Canzone. It\u2019s giving 2024. I wouldn\u2019t read too much into Raley, Canzone, and Miles Mastrobouni getting starts against a lefty since Mikolas is expected to get the bulk today for Washington. Honestly, I\u2019m surprised more teams aren\u2019t trying a lefty opener against the Mariners.<\/p>\n
Pretty standard lineup for the Nats except that Curtis Mead has the day off, and James Wood gets DH duty. On the seventh day, they rested.<\/p>\n
First pitch: We got ourselves brunch baseball, baby. 10:35 PDT first pitch.
