Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Seattle Mariners.
Both team's come into this game needing to string some wins together to get back into the pennant race. Pittsburgh is now three games under .500, Monday's deflating loss to the Dodgers left the Pirates with a brutal 8-18 mark in June. Seattle can empathize, its starting rotation has been hit with the injury bug and the over-worked bullpen would predictably fall part. The visitors hand the ball to Jonathan Niese (6-5, 4.93 ERA) who after a decent start to the season has completely fallen apart, most recently coming off his third straight loss, giving up five runs off seven hits with two walks while striking out four in Thursday's setback to the Giants. Over the stretch of futility Niese has given up 17 earned runs on 24 hits, including six dingers (and note that he owns a poor 5.03 ERA on the road). Hisashi Iwakuma (6-6, 4.45) gets the call for the home side, he also comes into this one off an outing to forget in which he was blasted for five runs on 11 hits and three walks in a loss to Detroit on Wednesday. For arguments sake, we're calling the starters a "wash," but we're giving Seattle the big nod at the plate, Pittsburgh has been downright putrid with its production and we think that trend continues here. Play on the MARINERS.
