T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners.

I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. The Mariners lost a really close game to the Red Sox last night 4-3 but the Mariners have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to bounce back at home here. The Red Sox have also been really hot lately but they just struggled to beat the Angels in their previous series, winning 3 games by 1 run and losing the last which ended a long drought for the Angels, and now they just won another game over the Mariners but by 1 run again. I think the Red Sox are cooling off now and I expect them to lose another game here in Seattle. George Kirby (1-1, 3.38 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked good in his starts this year. He has had 2 bad starts this year but overall, he has looked pretty good and I think he will keep the Red Sox from putting up a lot of runs here in their home ballpark. Michael Wacha (4-1, 1.99 ERA) is up for the Red Sox here and he has been having a great year but I also think he has been pitching too well and is overachieving a bit for this year. I expect some regression on his end and I think this is the perfect spot for him to regress on the road in Seattle after pitching a great game on the road in his previous start. He gave up no runs and only 3 hits after pitching a full game against the struggling Angels and I don't see him repeating that performance again here, especially since that previous start was him coming back from an injury that kept him out a few weeks. I think this is a good spot for the Mariners to get to him since they have been hitting really well lately. I like the Mariners to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mariners.
