Play: Seattle Mariners
Rating: 8/10*

The Seattle Mariners should come out very motivated here after dropping three of four against the Yankees. They're 7-1 in their last eight Monday games and 4-0 in left-hander James Paxton's (9-3, 3.05 ERA) last four starts. Paxton has held the Red Sox to one run on nine hits and two walks through a pair of eight-inning outings in previous meetings. The Red Sox hand the ball to another left-hander in Eduardo Rodriguez (4-2, 3.66 ERA) who spent more than a month on the DL before allowing three runs on six hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays on July 17. It might take another couple of games for Rodriguez to get back to his very best.
