KEY PLAYER MATCHUPS
1. Matt Olson vs. Logan Gilbert
Olson’s power vs. Gilbert’s elevated fastball is the most dangerous matchup of the night. If Gilbert keeps the ball down, he can neutralize Olson’s pull power.
2. Julio Rodríguez (if active) vs. Charlie Morton
Morton’s curveball is tough on aggressive hitters. If Julio plays, his ability to adjust to spin will determine Seattle’s offensive ceiling.
3. Austin Riley vs. Mariners bullpen
Seattle’s bullpen is depleted; Riley’s late‑inning power is a major threat.
