Seattle at Boston

Seattle has as many road wins as Boston has at home. The Mariners' offense has been one of the best in baseball despite playing half their games in a huge park, ranked fifth in runs scored and sixth in slugging. Seattle will get Franklin Gutierrez back in the lineup against lefty starter David Price (4.52 ERA) after he blasted a pair of homers off the left-handed Roenis Elias on Friday. The Mariners are 12-3 after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Seattle has a terrific arm going in 23-year old Taijuan Walker (3.69 ERA), walking only 16 in 70+ innings with 67 Ks, and Boston has not faced him. The Mariners are 11-5 when Walker starts with four days of rest. Red Sox southpaw Price has a 5.26 ERA at home and suffered the loss in each of his last three outings, allowing five home runs in 23 innings over that span (12 dingers on the year). The Red Sox are 3-7 when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game, so grab the very live big dog. Play Seattle.
