Seager Option

The thing is that it hasn't always been this way. The M's have had a higher OPS at home than on the road 3 times 2005, 2008, and 2016. and 4 times they were within 15 points of their road OPS at home, 2007, 2009,2013 and 2015. That's 7 times in a 12 year span that they performed pretty much as well at home as they did on the road. what has changed?

What's changed?

Wow, check their home/away OPS splits since the grass/dirt replacement. I'd venture to say it will not go back to normal next season.

Wow. I wish we could get opponent OPS at T Mobile.

With that situation and JP at SS and France at first we should find a ground ball starter.

Seems like it's counterintuitive, because "marine-layer", but I think it's on the ground that's killing offense, not the air.

I'd be content with groundball pitchers.

Careful- Last time the Mariners thought that way we wound up with Carlos Silva

You can just look at our pitching splits. Our opponents were at a .684 OPS in Safeco and a .777 OPS on the road. Our offense was at .663 at home and .710 on the road so the park is actually harder on our opponents than it is on us comparatively speaking.

Also as pertaining to PBJ's point, our opponents hit 99 Home Runs in Safeco and 98 HR on the road so its not the long ball that is accounting for that OPS.

Where did you find the .684 OPS number? I think that's what dtrain and I were after

The statistic is known as "OPS Against". It should apprear under advanced team pitching stats on Baseballreference.
