New York Mets @ Seattle Mariners

BUCK’S TAKE (PRO)

Tonight, the New York Mets are visiting Seattle — and the market has the Mariners as home favorites. Buck Malone — and folks, I think they got this one exactly right. Here's what I see. Seattle at home is a different animal. T-Mobile Park plays tight — it suppresses run-scoring, and that suits a Mariners pitching staff built to grind through lineups. When the defense and the park are working together, it's like a pitcher throwing downhill both ways. Now here's the part most people aren't talking about. The Mets crossed three time zones on a redeye into a day game. That's not a talking point — that's real. Early first pitch, east coast bodies running on fumes, trying to pick up an unfamiliar stadium's sight lines? That's a recipe for slow starts, and slow starts against this pitching staff become full-game problems real fast. Even my buddy Dale once flew cross-country for a morning meeting and forgot his own last name. The Mets might feel the same way today.
