In their recent game against Minnesota Twins on June 26, Seattle was unable to score until late in the game. This pattern of slow starts has been a recurring issue that could put them at a disadvantage if not addressed promptly. Their batting average in early innings has been less than stellar, and they need to capitalize on any early opportunities presented by K.C.'s pitching staff.


Middle Innings


The middle innings will be pivotal for both teams as they look to establish dominance. For Seattle, maintaining focus during these periods is essential given their tendency to falter midway through games. On June 25 against Minnesota Twins, despite having solid pitching performances initially, they allowed runs during critical middle innings which ultimately cost them dearly.
