Good thing I stayed on the porch last night, it's very unlikely I would have found myself on the Mariners ML or the Over. 3 runs scored off of Wild Pitches, and 4 Mariners "hitters" were plunked by Rangers pitches.
Laying 70 cents on this offense versus a team with a winning record is not a wise play in my opinion. Sure, Felix is great, and he's likely to win this game, but is he likely enough to justify the -170 price tag? I dont think so.
The Mariners are making yet another lineup change tonight, as Michael Saunders goes from the doghouse to the penthouse. Brad Miller goes back to the #9 spot, meanwhile Almonte gets moved down the the two hole. The Mariners 1-2 punch this season has been pathetic. No team in the AL has a lower leadoff batter On Base % than Lloyd's guy. And if you think Almonte was bad as a leadoff batter, note the guys the Mariners have run out there in the two hole . . . they have combined to hit a woeful .174 with an on base % of .208 . . . .just horrible. I really dont think you can lay 70 cents to back a team of that nature. I dont want to count on Texas pitchers plunking 4 mariners tonight, nor do i want to count on Arencibia making another stupid play when the Mariners are willing to give up an out.
