Seattle at San Diego

The Seattle Mariners’ middle of the order resembles what you might find at AAA. I don't think any of them would be in the meat of any other MLB team's three, four, and five slots. Their 27 games on the season scoring 3 runs or less testifies that. Fortunately they have one of the top pitchers in baseball on the mound tonight in Felix Hernandez. The Mariners’ staff has been on fire as they have allowed a total of 6 runs in their last five games. The Padres’ offense rivals that of the M's as they have to scratch and claw for runs, and in their last four games they have managed to plate just 5. The Mariners are at their best vs. the NL West where they are now 37-18 in their last 55 games, while the Padres have been a dismal 10-21 in their last 31 vs. the AL West. The M's carry a 9-2-1 UNDER mark in their last 12 interleague games, while the Padres stand at 17-6-1 in their last 24 at home vs. a losing road team. Play Seattle and the UNDER in this one.
