This is an 8* PITCHERS DUEL on the UNDER between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Seattle Mariners.

I think these under the radar hurlers will battle each other into the latter frames and look for this total to sneak below the posted number once the smoke clears at the end of the night. Erasmo Ramirez is 3-2 with a 5.53 ERA and will look to take advantage of an M's line-up which is hitting .214 with 2.5 runs per game in its last eight. Ramirez threw for the Mariners between 2012 and 2014 and is coming off his best outing of the year, giving up three hits with seven K's over seven frames in a 3-0 win in Baltimore on Saturday. After a slow start to the season, he's posted a 3.13 ERA and .149 opponent batting average. The home side counters with Roenis Elias (2-2, 3.07 ERA) who is coming off his worst outing of the year, giving up four runs off five hits with four walks over 5 1/3's innings in a 4-3 home loss to Cleveland on Saturday. No need to hit the panic button if you're an Elias fan though, all pitchers have games like his last one, he'd surrendered just three runs in 20 innings over his previous three starts. And a date vs. the Rays is just what the doctor ordered for Elias to get back on track, he'd yield one run off six hits over six frames in a 4-1 win in Tampa back on May 25th. Play on the UNDER.
