(MLB) Rays (TAM) vs. Mariners (SEA),
Money Line: 118.00 Rays (TAM) (Away)
Result: Loss
Tampa Bay at Seattle 9:40 ET
Rays over Mariners- The Seattle Mariners have one of the better starting rotations in MLB and yet they can not establish themselves as legitimate contenders. At just one-game over .500 they are down $1032 on the season as the book-makers have faith in this club that just struggles to score runs. Currently, they have won 2-of-3 but they had dropped eight of their previous nine and lost six consecutive games while scoring just nine runs in six games. Tampa Bay has virtually the same record but are dead even with the bookmakers as little is expected of them. Bryce Miller (9-7, 3.32 ERA) starts for the Mariners and he is 0-1 with a 7.56 against the Rays while Ryan Pepiot (7-5, 3.65) has no decisions against Seattle but hurled 5.1 innings against them in June allowing just one hit and one run for an ERA of 1.69. Take TAMPA BAY!
