This a 1* Free Play on the Seattle Mariners.

The visiting Mariners send Felix Hernandez (13-4, 1.99 ERA) to the hill who is looking to bounce back off a rare bad outing (for his incredibly high standards anyways). Hernandez had his streak of nine straight wins in a row snapped against the Tigers, going five innings while allowing two runs. I expect "The King" bounces back nicely in this game; note that Hernandez is 8-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 15 careers starts lifetime versus the Red Sox and earned a win in his last start against them. Boston counters with Joe Kelly (2-3, 4.67 ERA); Kelly was roughed up in his last outing allowing seven runs in a loss to the Astros. Kelly has been injured for most of the year and the ailments have clearly contributed to his inconsistent campaign. The Red Sox played just yesterday and lost to the Angels while the Mariners had the day off. Note that Seattle is 11-3 this year when playing with a day off. The M's are coming off a disappointing series against the Phillies where they lost two of three and will be coming into this contest hungry for a win as they are a half game out of a Wild Card spot. The Red Sox meanwhile have lost five in row and have little to play for at this point. I have no problem laying the extra juice to get Hernandez and the Mariners.
