This is an 8* MISMATCH on the Mariners.

Seattle lost three of four to the Guardians at home to open the season, but the Mariners have taken the first two games here in Cleveland.

I think the M's can now sweep the series with what I believe is the superior starter on the hill.

George Kirby is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA for the Mariners after alowing 4 runs off 9 hits over five innings in a loss to the Angels.

Zach Plesac is 0-0 with a 54.00 ERA, allowing six runs over one innings in what turned out to be a fortunate no-decision vs. the A's on Monday.

Kirby was 5-2 with a 3.56 ERA on the road last season, and I look for him to settle down here and for the Mariners to keep the momentum rolling.

Lay the price, the play is SEATTLE.

Good luck, NP
