Seattle at Tampa Bay

Jaime Hellickson is 3-0 on the season, but the Rays have outscored their opponents at just 20-19 in his four starts. He is going to have to pitch a gem in this one as the Mariners have played very well in the early going, and are tied with the Texas Rangers for the most road wins in baseball with eight. Tonight it will be against Felix Hernandez, who since his 2012 debut has been nearly flawless, allowing 3 runs over 22 innings of work. Against what is arguably been the top division in baseball for years, the AL East, the M's are 17-10 when he takes the mound against them. Tampa Bay has been a big part of that success as the M's are 5-1in his last six starts against the Rays. Hellickson has not been good in series openers with the Rays at 2-5 in his last seven. Play on Seattle.
