Seattle Mariners vs Baltimore OriolesSeattle Mariners
-105 at bodog20* MLB No-Brainer on Seattle Mariners -105
Back the Seattle Mariners tonight over the Baltimore Orioles. The O's are on a 1-5 slide, and even though they edged out the Mariners last night, they'll be facing one of the hottest pitchers in the American League in Felix Hernandez. He is 5-3 on the season with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP and over his last three starts he is 1-0 with an impressive 0.83 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. That's nothing but trouble for the Orioles, who are averaging just 1.9 runs and hitting only .224 as a team over their past 7 games against weaker starting pitching. Meanwhile, Baltimore starter Jeremy Guthrie is just 1-1 with a 6.58 ERA over his last 3 starts, giving up at least 7 hits each of those appearances. In Guthrie's last appearance at Oakland, he didn't even last an inning, giving up 6 earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning. I don't expect him to make a big rebound tonight. Jump all over the Mariners.
