Neither the Pittsburgh Pirates nor the Seattle Mariners are heading to the postseason, and I think we're getting value on the underdog here considering questionable motivation for both sides.

Mariners' left-hander Marco Gonzales (15-11, 4.30 ERA) is having a great year (by his standards) and held Cincinnati to two runs through seven innings last time out. This will make his first career start against the Pirates who turn to the struggling rookie right-hander Mitch Keller (1-4, 8.29 ERA) who was tagged with five runs and nine hits in five innings in a 5-4 loss to San Francisco last time out.

Pirates are 5-14 in their last 19 games vs. a left-handed starter. Seattle has won four of its past six games and it is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings with the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

8* play on Seattle Mariners.
