ANALYSIS
They have surprised everyone.
After losing Robinson Cano for pretty much half the season for doping pretty much everyone left the Seattle Mariners for dead.
Yet courtesy of a 14-4 run they lead the world champion Astros by one game heading into this game tonight.
Impressive to say the least.
The pitching matchup is Mike Leake and Ryne Stanek.
Leake just came off dominating the Rays at home last Friday giving up 2 runs on 6 hits over 7 innings only to watch his closer blow it in the 9th.
In 3 career starts versus the Rays he is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and over his last 3 starts he has a 1.66 ERA having not allowed a walk in his last 4 starts.
Stanek is starting out of the bullpen and he has been successful but facing a Mariners team that just had their 5 game winning streak snapped last night.
Better team, better value. End of story.
