20 DIMER - SEATTLE MARINERS (Rowland-Smith over Laffey)

Quick turnaround for these teams, as Seattle just took 3 of 4 at Cleveland last weekend, including the last 3. The Mariners come back home having also won the last pair of their 3 game set against the Tigers, so now the M's are on a 7-2 run their last 9 games.

Better still, Seattle has won 11 of their last 15 at home, while the Indians are just 9-22 their last 31 games.

Cleveland's Aaron Laffey just pitched against Seattle, working 6 innings of 3 run ball in a no decision. I don't expect Laffey who has a near 7 road ERA in limited duty to fool the hot Mariners tonight in their park.

Rowland-Smith is back up with the big club for his first start since last September, and I look for this southpaw to perform well as he bids to stay in the rotation down the stretch.

M's still in the mix out west, and I am on them tonight.

10 DIMER - SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (Cain over Hammel)

The Giants are making their way back west, and they were able to get out of Atlanta on Thursday by avoiding the 4-game sweep.

Big weekend set against their division-rival, and I am backing the better pitcher tonight.

Matt Cain is just 2-3 his last 5 starts against the Rockies, but I have a feeling he is game tonight. Cain is 11-2 for the year, and has allowed 1 run or less in 4 straight starts, and 5 of his last 6.

His counterpart Jason Hammel is just 1-2 in his 7 home starts this year with an ERA of 7.68. I tend to believe the Giants offensive struggles will come to an end in this one.

San Fran has won 3 of the 5 series meetings thus far this season, and I am on them tonight to open the weekend with a much-needed win
