Stephen Nover's MLB Friday Dominator
(MLB) Giants (SFG) vs. Mariners (SEA),
Money Line: -152.00 Mariners (SEA) (Home)
Result: Win
I want the Mariners' going for me at home in the debut of their new manager, Dan Wilson.

Seattle is 1-8 in its last nine games. But those games were all on the road. Now the Mariners are back home with a day to get acclimated after being idle on Thursday.

The Mariners are 37-26 at home. They've won their last four home games. The Giants are 27-36 on the road.

Seattle has Luis Castillo pitching. He's been tremendous when pitching in Seattle with a 2.85 home ERA. That ERA drops to 2.01 against National League opponents. Castillo hasn't given up more than three runs in a home game since the start of April.

Opposing Castillo is rookie Hayden Birdsong, who has a 5.01 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in nine big league starts. Birdsong has surrendered 12 earned runs, including four homers, in two starts this month spanning just 6 1/3 innings.
