MLB - 929 Minnesota Twins @ 930 Seattle Mariners
(Starting Pitchers: N. Blackburn vs H. Iwakuma)
I expect this game to be a rare slugfest in the Safeco Field. Minnesota is starting Blackburn today and he has been a mess this season by posing a 7.15ERA on his last seven games and in fact he has been consistently bad, especially since June by posting a 6.92, 6.65 and 6.55 ERA in the last three months. Seattle may not be a very powerful offensive team, but they have enough talent to expose a weak SP like Blackburn.
On the other hand, Seattle will be starting Iwakuma, who is coming from some solid outings, however his FIP on his last game for example (5.23 FIP) shows that he was a bit lucky on those games as well. He is terrible against RH batters with .270 BA and 5.85 FIP and the Twins have a very solid hitting lineup to pound him today.
Therefore, I expect both pitchers to struggle today and looking at the low totals line posted by the oddmakers, I'll be taking the Over in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 929/930 Over 7.5 (w/ N. Blackburn & H. Iwakuma) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
