T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners.

I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The Mariners have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/8 of their previous 8 games and I expect them to add another win to that here against the Orioles. The Orioles haven't looked terrible in their games lately but they haven't been a good road team all year and they lost last night to the Mariners without even putting up a run in that game. The Mariners haven't had a tough schedule lately either but they have still been picking up wins over these bad teams and I expect them to pick up another here in this home game. Chris Flexen (3-8, 4.31 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he was having some really bad starts near the beginning of the year but he has looked a lot better lately and hasn't been giving up as many runs in his starts. He has started 6 games in a row without giving up more than 3 runs and I think he can shut down the Orioles offense with his pitching here. Austin Voth (0-0, 7.81 ERA) is up for the Orioles here and he hasn't had many starts this year with a majority of his appearances coming out of the bullpen, but he has been terrible in those appearances with a lot those seeing him give up 3+ runs in less than 2 innings of play. He has started in his 2 most recent appearances and he hasn't looked bad in those starts but he hasn't pitched more than 3 innings in either of those and he has shown many times this year as a reliever that he doesn't need many innings to blow a game for them. I like the Mariners to win here.

T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Mariners.
