The Seattle Mariners are taking their road show to Denver for a regular season clash against the Colorado Rockies this Friday at 8:10 PM EDT, and you can catch the high-altitude comedy on MLB.TV, Rockies.TV, or Mariners.TV. Seattle rolls into Coors Field sporting a microscopic .232 team batting average, which usually makes for painful viewing unless you throw them into the thin Colorado air. Fortunately for the Mariners, the Rockies' pitching staff is currently hosting a season-long charity event with a team ERA of 5.59, meaning even Seattle's quiet bats might find some cheap thrills in the mountains.
Seattle will hand the ball to Bryan Woo (12-9, 3.88 ERA) to navigate the altitude, though he will have to do it without the services of Brendan Donovan and Brennen Davis, who are both chilling on the injured list. Woo's life looks downright luxurious compared to Colorado starter Gabriel Hughes, who enters the evening with a winless 0-8 record and a 6.37 ERA that suggests he treats home plate like a launchpad. With Colorado's bats hitting a modest .254 and their pitching staff giving up runs like a broken vending machine, this one is bound to get weird.
