4* Money Maker
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Seattle,
Money Line: -126.00 Seattle (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the MARINERS here. Another case of a line I am concerned about. But I make my money long term in MLB by backing solid starters and not laying heavy numbers. So when I can get King Felix, even with less velocity, at home, laying a short price, I will grab it. Even with a drop in MPH, Hernandez is still posting solid numbers. K's are down, just 29 in 36 innings, but with 2300 innings logged, that is expected. He is still producing a .204 BA against after being roughed up by the A's for 8 runs on 9 hits in just 4 innings of work. He has great career numbers vs TB (7-2 1.90 15 starts) and I attribute the blip against Oakland as a team that sees him more, so they can get him on a bad day. TB just beat up on the Angels who I have been an under team from the start. They send Matt Moore here who is also off his worse start of the season. With 4 straight wins, Rays are now 9-9 on the road. Seattle is just 5-7 at home, but with the hot hitting of Cano, Kyle Seager finding his stroke, and the powerful Nelson Cruz lurking, I think we have a safe play here. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS
