OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Sunday is on the Seattle Mariners (-100) to Detroit.
Reasoning: I don’t love Seattle as they are not the most talented of teams but the Mariners have been playing well with that surprising over .500 record and I love Felix Hernandez. Yes King Felix has not been great of late at all and just allowed a whopping five earned runs in only six plus innings but the guy is great and should get back to being great once again today.
Rick Porcello is a solid young hurler who has an upside himself but the guy is no Felix Hernandez and I’m not very high on Jim Leyland’s Tigers. I will give Detroit some credit for getting right back in the AL Central race and catching Cleveland thanks to playing some solid ball but the Tigers are not a team that I trust at all and besides Migual Cabrera are fairly weak. Yes Boesch and Perralta and Martinez have an upside and are pretty good at times but they are really nothing more than that.
If you look at the recent numbers the Tiger right-hander has actually outpitched the reigning Cy Young award winner but that truly doesn’t concern me. Hernandez is a superstar and a guy who should be able to rebound nicely in this spot at pitcher friendly Comerica Park.
Ichiro has struggled and the Mariners offense is not much of anything but Seattle has been playing a whole lot better than expected and Justin Smoak is actually a kid that has been pretty solid with those 11 long balls. There probably won’t be many crooked numbers in this thing and even though this is a road game without a takeback, I’ll hitch my wagon to the King and expect a solid rebounding effort leading to a Seattle victory.
