Detailed Analysis
Game Analysis: Seattle Mariners vs Chicago Cubs | 20-06-2025 | MLB
Get ready for a clash of styles at Wrigley Field on June 20th, 2025, at 2:20 PM when the Seattle Mariners (37-36) take on the Chicago Cubs (45-29). This matchup pits a Mariners team struggling to find consistency against a Cubs squad currently riding high.
Seattle Mariners Performance Snapshot
The Mariners are a bit of a mixed bag. Their .242 batting average ranks a lowly 19th in the league, and their 4.34 runs per game show a clear offensive deficiency. Their pitching, with a 3.87 ERA, isn’t exactly lighting the world on fire either, although it’s better than their hitting. They’re averaging just 8.22 hits per game, indicating a lack of consistent base knocks. They need to find a way to get on base more consistently.
Chicago Cubs Performance Snapshot
The Cubs, on the other hand, are a well-oiled machine. Their .254 batting average (6th in the league) speaks volumes about their offensive firepower, and they’re scoring a healthy 5.27 runs per game. Their pitching staff boasts a respectable 3.56 ERA, and their bullpen has racked up 18 saves, showing strong late-game execution. Their 8.69 hits per game average reflects their consistent ability to put the ball in play.
Pitching Matchup: Who Has the Edge?
This pitching matchup is a key factor. Seattle sends out G. Kirby (1-3, ERA 5.96), who’s been struggling mightily this season. He’s a question mark heading into this game. The Cubs counter with M. Boyd (6-3, ERA 2.79), who’s been a rock for their rotation. Boyd’s significantly lower ERA gives the Cubs a clear advantage on the mound.
Seattle Mariners vs Chicago Cubs Predictions
Given the Cubs’ superior offense, pitching, and overall record, the prediction is a home win for the Chicago Cubs. Considering the pitching matchup and the Mariners’ offensive struggles, the total runs scored should stay under the 9.5 line.
