With the bat, Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford are the players that lead the way for Seattle.

For the Angels, youngster Jack Kochanowicz makes his eleventh start of the season. Kochanowicz has fared much worse than his counterpart on paper, currently pitching with a 3-7 record, along with a 5.34 ERA and 44 total strikeouts. In his last appearance on Sunday, he struggled against the Cleveland Guardians, giving up four earned runs in 3.2 innings.
