Seattle Mariners -1.25
The Seattle Mariners always knew they had a future star in Felix Hernandez, and this season that star has begun to shine. Hernandez has been the key figure in a team that went from 102 losses a year ago, to within striking distance this season of a wildcard berth. Hernandez is 12-4 with a 2.68 ERA, and has already blanked this Tampa lineup through seven innings earlier in the season. The Rays have been a force at home, but such has not been the case on the road, where they are a losing team. The Rays are six games under .500 this season on the road, and 75-156 in their last 231 games, and just 3-8 in their last 11 against a team with a winning home record. Mariners strong with king Felix on the hill at 9-1 in his last 10 starts. I'll go with the Mariners here.
