In an interleague matchup, two talented teams begin a three-game weekend slate against each other.
The Seattle Mariners (28-29) swept the Athletics in their last series as their offense is starting to look better, even without Cal Raleigh in the lineup.
The D-backs are also hot and fresh off a sweep against the San Francisco Giants. They've won 10 of their last 11 as Ketel Marte's bat has finally begun to heat up.
Zac Gallen will toe the rubber for Arizona while George Kirby will be on the mound for Seattle. The roof will be closed, so weather won't be a factor here.
Ahead of first pitch at 10:15 p.m. ET (7:15 p.m. PT), let's try to find some guys that could potentially hit a home run tonight.
Who Could Hit a Home Run in the Diamondbacks vs. Mariners Game? – May 29
Arizona Diamondbacks Hitters
George Kirby has done a great job limiting home runs this year, allowing three to each side of the plate in 68.2 innings.
It'll be tough ask for someone to homer on Arizona, though Kirby has given up some hard contact to lefties recently.
Ketel Marte (+525)
This might be the most popular pick of the night, and that's for a good reason.
As mentioned previously, Marte's bat is on fire. In his 10 games, he has a .512 batting average and has hit four home runs - good for a 1.439 OPS.
Two of his last 10 BBE (batted ball events) against Kirby's pitch mix have left the park, and he could certainly do it again.
He has a 60% fly ball rate and 50% pull rate in the same span, which is ideal for homers.
Seattle Mariners Hitters
Luke Raley (+550)
The Mariners rank ninth in homers, in large part due to Luke Raley's pop against righties.
He faces another righty tonight who is susceptible to giving up homers and throws a lot of fastballs (45.1% of Gallen's pitches to lefties are four-seamers).
Raley has barreled five of the last 15 right-handed four-seam fastballs he's put in play, resulting in four homers.
He leads the team with 11 homers and all have come against righties. Let's see if he can do it again tonight.
Mitch Garver (+700)
Garver has two homers off his Gallen in 12 at-bats, and it looks like he's in a good place to add another tonight.
In his last 10 BBE vs. Gallen's pitch mix, he's hit eight fly balls, with six of them being hit at over 95 MPH off the bat.
On top of that, Garver pulls the ball at a 50% clip. If he were to hit one, it'll land in the left field seats off of a Gallen fastball or slider.
