ROGERS AFTERNOON PITCHING MISMATCH (OFF WINNING!)
(MLB) Mariners (SEA) vs. Giants (SFG),
Money Line: 108.00 Mariners (SEA) (Away)
Result: Loss
My 8* PITCHING MISMATCH is on the Seattle Mariners at 4:05 EST. The hungry Mariners will look to salvage the finale of this three-game interleague series with a slight upset. They'll hand the ball to Bryan Woo, while the home side counters with Jordan Hicks. The Mariners are 3-5, while the Giants are 6-1. Seattle fell 10-9 in 11 innings in the first game, and then 4-1 last night. Woo though is already 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP after a dominant six innings in his season-debut. In the end he allowed two runs over seven innings with zero walks and seven strikeouts and I think he'll carry that momentum over here. Hicks is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.50 WHIP after going six scoreless in his season debut. Hicks did struggle against the Mariners in his lone appearance vs. them last year, going 0.2 innings and allowing one run off one hit with two walks and one strikeout out of the bullpen. It's too early to draw any firm conclusions as far as the offensive and defensive numbers are concerned. This is a great situational play that offers great line value. The play is on Seattle.
