Randy Arozarena has 34 hits with 9 doubles, 3 home runs and 12 RBIs as well on the year. Josh Naylor also has 27 hits with 4 home runs and 17 RBIs as well on the year. Julio Rodriguez has also added 37 hits with 7 doubles,4 home runs and 16 RBIs.
I’m on the Braves here. I just think that while Logan Gilbert historically has done well int his ballpark, the Mariners’ offense behind him continues to be inconsistent and hard to back in a matchup like this. Atlanta’s bats continue to crank and while I am slightly concerned about this game off of the Coors Field series with no day off in between to reacclimate from the altitude change, I still think Atlanta has enough in the tank to bag the win to start the series. Give me Atlanta.
