Los Angeles at Seattle

The Mariners are the most fragile team in baseball. They are a "mindset" team meaning when they start winning, they are nearly impossible to beat and when they start losing, they have a difficult time finding their way back. The Mariners have had 11 winning streaks of 3+ games this season, but at the same time have had losing streaks of 7, 6, 6, 4and 3. They blew a five-run lead yesterday to extend their latest losing battle to four straight. They are poised to be swept. Most of their damage this season has been done against LHP where they stand at 25-8. The fate has been much different against RHP where they are a sub-.500 team at 48-49. Jered Weaver has a 20-8 career record and has settled down of late, with the Angels winning three of his last four starts. Felix Hernandez has pitched well, but his last four starts vs. Baltimore, Minnesota, Chicago and Texas are not the same line-ups he will face in this one. Look for the Angels to get out of town with the sweep.
