At one time the Seattle Mariners had both Cliff Lee and Feix Hernandez, but could not win. They have scored 3 runs or less 19 times, and tried to address the lineup by trading for Jesus Montero, but he is hitting .256 in the cleanup spot and .125 over his last 24 at bats, with 1 RBI. They moved Ichiro to the No. 3 spot in the lineup out of desperation, but he is not a power hitter and is also on the decline, hitting under .300, and hasn't driven in a run in six games. Despite how good Hernandez has been, the M's are still a below .500 team in his last 28 starts, almost a season's worth, and 0-6 in his last six starts vs. an opponent that scored 5 or more in their previous game. The Tribe is pounding bad road teams to a 24-11 record at home vs. a road team that is below .400 on the road. Play on Cleveland.
