The Seattle Mariners have probably been the biggest surprise so far this year. They have played well and have been hot lately. However, today they have Jeff Weaver on the mound and they will have to score a lot of runs off of pitcher in Jason Marquis who is having a good season. Weaver has pitched to an ERA of 12.46, and what is even worse is that the middle relief has allowed an additional 23 runs in his 7 starts. The Mariners have been outscored in his starts 59-19. Marquis has allowed one run or less in 8 of his 13 starts and the Cubs have won 7 of 11 by getting great pitching. The Cubs staff has allowed two runs or less in 7 of their last 11. The Cubs beat the Mariners yesterday and have a huge pitching mismatch today so we will ride them at home.
