Seattle Mariners: 8 Key Home Series’ for 2017
By Nick Lee
Boston Red Sox, July 24-26
The Red Sox are picked by many to win the AL East. They arguably have the best starting pitching duo in baseball, with David Price and Chris Sale.
Red Sox fans will likely come in droves to visit our beautiful city and cheer on the BoSox. Hopefully the Mariners will be in the thick of a division race and not let them take over Safeco Field.
Even without retired David Ortiz, the Red Sox look to be one of the better teams in baseball. This will be good preparation for a Mariners club with October hopes.
Anytime an AL East club comes to Seattle, it is a zoo and usually an entertaining series. The Red Sox have always had big names, and this season they have blooming stars in Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley.
