This happens a lot at the end of a long road trip.Especially one in
which their scheduled days off were occupied by stopovers in Cleveland
to makeup games that were snowed
out/rained out.I don't think this is the whole reason,but surely it is a
factor.
I can't remember where I saw it,but I saw a diagram of the mileage the
team would experience jetting all over the country to play their
adjusted schedule.It covered over 7000 miles.Seattle being where they
are located relative to a lot of sports venues travels a lot more miles
disproportionally to other sports
franchises relative to each other.
Of course,the argument could be made the same way for the Angels who
are at the top of the division;but they were not behind in the schedule
of games needed to be made up either.
