Boston at Seattle

The Boston pitching rotation has taken a lot of injury hits, and Franklin Morales has been called upon to get it done while they await the return of injured starters. Morales has opened some eyes as he has pitched 34.2 innings to an ERA of 3.12, which is better than what Felix Hernandez has done on the season. The Mariner's weak bats have simply not been productive enough to get wins behind Hernandez, as they are 7-11 in his last 18 starts dating back to the close of 2011. Boston has been a hot team at 11-3 in their last 14, behind an offense generating 7.4 runs per game over their last 10, and a pitching staff that has held opponents to 4 runs or less in 15 of their last 20. The Sox are trampling struggling offenses now at 38-17 in their last 55 vs. a team scoring 2 or less in their previous game. The Mariners’ struggles vs. left-hand pitching continues, as they are 15-41 in their last 56 when facing one. Play on Boston.
