Result: Loss
This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners will be hungry to atone for back-to-back losses to the lowly Twins. Minnesota has to be feeling pretty contented after already notching the series win. All signs point to a lop-sided victory today. The visitors send Ricky Nolasco (1-3, 5.54 ERA) to the hill, he was most recently blasted for six runs off eight hits with two walks over just 2.2 innings of work in a loss to Kansas City on Monday. Nolasco has now given up at least four runs in six straight starts and in seven of nine this year. So far Nolasco has been crushed for 60 hits and seven home runs over just 52 innings of work this season and note that he's been particularly horrible in this spot already, going 0-2 with an 8.14 ERA in all night games thus far. The home side counters with Taijuan Walker (2-4, 2.70) who comes in off his worst start of the year, giving up five runs (just one earned) off four hits and a walk while striking out six over 7.1 innings in a loss to the A's on Monday. Following a hot start to the campaign, Walker is now 0-4 in his last five appearances. Note though that it's not been his fault, as he's given up two or less earned runs seven times in nine tries this season. A date at home is just what the doctor ordrered to get back into the win column today as he's posted a tiny 2.68 ERA there to date. All signs do indeed point to SEATTLE as the savvy move in this matchup.
