4 Unit Play. Take Under 8.5 between Cleveland Indians @ Seattle Mariners (Friday @ 10:10pm est). There are several "9's" on the board right now. Certainly, if you get the nine, roll with it as that 1/2 a run cushion is nice. Laffey faced the Mariners just recently and he picked up a no-decision but the Indians fell short 3-5 at home. The lefty pitched six strong innings and gave up three runs in that start. Laffey faces Seattle once again immediately in his next start and I expect to be even better this time around as he looks for an indirect revenge. Laffey missed the month of June due to a right oblique strain, but he has come back strong and I expect a solid outing from him today. Ryan Rowland-Smith, the Sydney, Australian native has been showing solid improvement and he gets the ball today. Rowland-Smith was showing solid progress in Triple A and there is a rotation spot available in Seattle if he is able to produce a quality start today. I look for him to have a clear incentive to be on point this evening. He didn't yield a run in the few innings he has pitched so far since being called up from the minors. The Under is 4-1-1 for the Indians of late when they face a lefty and the Under is 22-5 for the Mariners when they are favorites by this margin.
