Seattle Mariners at Colorado Rockies

Woo takes the mound at 6:10 PM MT fresh off one of his better turns of the summer — 6 shutout innings against Oakland with 5 strikeouts — and Colorado still hasn't posted anyone to answer him, which says plenty about how bare this rotation has gotten.

Seattle's fading playoff hopes meet a Colorado club fighting to avoid a fourth straight 100-loss season, with both rotations and bullpens thinned out by injury going into Coors Field. Bryan Woo gives the Mariners a real edge on the mound after a scoreless outing his last time out, but neither side's relief corps is built to protect a lead at altitude.

Mariners

• +Woo fresh off scoreless 6-inning start vs Oakland
• +Won last game 7-2 over the Angels
• −Lost 3 of last 5 including two one-run games
• −Bullpen down Davila, Brash and Wilcox

Rockies

• +Split last 4 vs Padres, won one game 9-3
• +Coors altitude keeps every game within reach offensively
• −Rotation down Freeland, Quintana, Dollander, Herrera
• −Lost 2 straight, 1-4 in last 5

The Rockies have lost Kyle Freeland to the IL in the last month and are still without Jose Quintana, on top of season-ending injuries to Chase Dollander and Welinton Herrera, so whoever starts is filling a hole, not holding a job. Seattle's own pitching depth isn't much healthier — Nick Davila, Matt Brash and Cole Wilcox are all out of the bullpen mix — so neither club is bringing its best relief options to altitude.

That kind of attrition on both sides tends to matter more at Coors Field than anywhere else in the league, and it's a big part of why the number here already sits well above a typical MLB total.

Seattle enters 2-3 in its last 5, capped by a 7-2 win over the Angels, but the stretch before that included consecutive one-run losses in Anaheim that kept them from building any real cushion. Colorado has dropped 2 straight and gone 1-4 in its last 5, with the lone win a 9-3 outburst against San Diego sandwiched between three losses in that same series.

Coors Field is calling for drizzle and a light breeze tonight, conditions that rarely tame the park's reputation for turning routine flies into extra bases. For Colorado, every game left is really about avoiding a fourth straight 100-loss season; for Seattle, it's about proving the summer wasn't wasted before the schedule runs out.
