There’s a difference between losing and being outplayed, and right now the Seattle Mariners are living in that gap. At 4–8, they’ve dropped four straight, but every one of those losses has come by a single run—tight, low-variance games where one swing or one mistake decides it.

This Sunday slate has real shape to it. Phillies-Rockies puts the most obvious power environment on the board at Coors, Marlins-Yankees brings the short-porch threat in the Bronx, Padres-Red Sox drops big bats into Fenway, and Dodgers-Nationals gives you another game with top-end homer talent all over it.
