Bet on George Kirby and the M's to bounce back Friday night. In two outings vs. Boston last season, the Seattle right-hander gave up two total runs with 13 Ks in 11.2 combined innings.

Red Sox SP Nick Pivetta allowed seven runs and three HRs in two starts vs. the Mariners last season... After losing with ace Luis Castillo on the mound yesterday, I see value in a Seattle ML bet at -134 odds. The Mariners are a team with postseason aspirations, while the Red Sox will be lucky to finish above .500. At +156, there is additional value on the Mariners RL (-1.5), too.
