The Seattle Mariners open a three-game series with the Boston Red Sox. Seattle sends George Kirby to the mound for the start. He is 4-2, with a 2.62 ERA. Boston will send Tanner Houck to the mound. Houck is 3-2 with a 5.26 ERA. Boston is 8-2 in its last 10 games against Seattle. The Mariners have won five of their last seven games and six of their last seven road games. They have put up 21 runs in their last four games. They should find some success at the plate against Hauck, who has given up 13 runs in his last three starts. He gave up nine runs in his last two home starts and three runs in his only start against the Mariners. Boston has lost four of their last five games and two of their last three home games. They have scored 13 runs in their last three games. Kirby has given up just four runs in his last three starts and has given up only five runs in three road starts. Tanner Houck has posted a 6.94 ERA in his two May starts. Give me the better pitcher in this one.
