I’m Still Here: CP: Andres Munoz (100 MPH)

This is an elite pitching matchup. Considering the Tigers took a 4-2 victory yesterday, this is a must get for SEA.
Outlook: The AL West is still wide open. So, we will see. 29th of 30 in batting average .218. Only White Sox are worse with a .216 and they just ended a 20-game losing streak. 1165 SO is a league worst. Seattle tops in ERA 3.48, ER at 391. First in hits 834 (ahead by 48, 882 of the Cleveland Guardians)Tied for second in shutouts with 11.
Future Prospect Watch: Harry Ford (C) Plus Speed and Power at 21-years of age. Scouts love his game and steady movement up the charts.
