(Game ONE of double-header) #925 ASA PLAY ON Seattle Mariners -1.5 -115 over Colorado Rockies, Sunday at 3:10 PM ET - The Rockies are 4-16 on the season and have lost 6 straight games! The Mariners have won 4 straight games and have been getting great pitching. Speaking of great pitching, George Kirby is more than capable of that and he has already proven that in recent seasons plus in 2 of his 4 starts this season. Kirby has a great SO to BB ratio even though he had a couple rare tough starts this season. He is going to take advantage of facing a slumping Rockies team. Colorado has been shutout 3 times recently and been held to 3 or less runs in 8 of 9 recent losses. Rockies just are not hitting and that will not get any easier facing Kirby as he has a strong repertoire of pitches. Colorado is 2-10 last 12 games and in the 9 most recent losses the Rockies scored an average of only 2 runs per game. The Mariners have scored an average of 6 runs per game during their current 4-game win streak. Seattle should continue to heat up at the plate as they are slated to face Cal Quantrill in Game 1 of this double-header. Quantrill only had solid strikeout numbers in one of his starts and gave up 8 hits in 6 innings in that one. In his other 3 starts he has walked 7 and struck out only 5. That kind of ratio will get you into trouble at Coors Field and, with Seattle's bats starting to heat up, a tough afternoon for Quantrill is projected here. He had a 5.24 ERA last season and that was with Cleveland and he has a 5.57 ERA this season with the Rockies. Also, in terms of bullpens, the Mariners have a 2.84 ERA and 1.01 WHIP and the Rockies have a 5.55 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP! Mariners get the call for a blowout road win in Game 1 of this double-header Sunday.
