10* AL GAME OF THE WEEK
(MLB) Seattle vs. Texas,
Money Line: -156.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Win
I'll take my chances here and lay the big juice with the Mariners in Saturday's road contest against the Rangers. I see a massive edge here for Seattle on the mound, as they will send out one of their prized young talents in James Paxton against over-hill veteran Bartolo Colon. Since struggling in his season debut, the hard-throwing lefty is 1-0 with a 2.65 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 17 innings over his last three starts. He has really turned the corner of late. In his last 2 starts he's allowed just 3 runs on 9 hits with 17 strikeouts in 12 innings of work. Colon has pitched well in each of his first two starts in 2018, but I'm not buying it and he is coming off a huge effort on Sunday night. Back to the norm here as Seattle gets the win on Saturday night!
