June 10 Mariners vs Houston

I don't know how anyone can pay -235 to back the Mariners with their offense in the current state of affairs.  Certainly, Iwakuma is good, perhaps the best starting pitcher in the big leagues this season, but he doesn't bat, and we saw what happened yesterday when a "not so sharp" Felix Hernandez hand cuffed the Yanks for 7 innings.

Should the Mariners win this game tonight?  Of course they Should, but do they win this game in this situation often enough to warrant paying -235 for the pleasure?  I don't think so.  Even though I think very highly of Iwakuma, the prices may force me to back the under dog tonight.  I know the Astros are bad, but the Mariners aren't exactly very good themselves.

Iwakuma hasn't allowed a run in quite some time, he will regress at some point, and +215 might be enough to back that outcome tonight.

Or I just might go back to the Under 6.5 well.

Just dont bet on this game....

under or nothing

Iwakuma at HOME has allowed a total of 5 earned runs in 6 starts!!!....Those teams he shut down, Texas (TWICE), Detroit, Oakland, LA, & Chicago.

Perhaps . . . but why cough up a chance to back a proposition at +215 when it should be 50 cents more expensive?

Just for the sake of discussion, the Mariners have won 69% of Iwakuma's starts overall and 83% of his home starts, so the line is not unreasonable at all. Would I bet it? No, -235 requires a 70.2% win probability, which he may or may not have, but pays only 42.5 cents on the dollar of risk. The question becomes "does he (they) win this matchup 2 out of 3 times"? The answer is "probably, but it is baseball, anything can happen". The math is there, the logic is there, but I won't do it. All that being said, if there is value with Iwakuma, there can't possibly be with Keuchel. No play has value on either or both sides. Like the guy said, play the total or leave it alone. BOL

The Mariners team that won all those starts for Iwakuma is not the same team that lines up today.  Give me a "not horribly struggling" Saunders, Smoak, Morse, and Bay/Ibanez/Shoppach playing roles they are suited for and give me the solid pen we saw earlier and I entirely agree that the prices are justified and fair.

Just my opinion, will likely land on the Under, but if I can project Kuechel to be decent, then I have to take a stab at the low priced under dog.

sea -2.5 (+150) is the play....the bats will come alive for seattle tonight

under in the first five

i'd be careful with the under i see this being a 7-3 type of game

I think I'd rather lay the juice then force 3 runs out of the mariners lol

Played Under 3.5 first 5 innings.  GL  

If you can project 3+ runs from the Mariners offense (i cannot), then I can see why one might take a stab at the Alt Run Line.

I'm looking Mariners -1.5 @$1.90. I wouldn't be surprised if they knock in a few runs tonight but 4 should be sufficient.

I know Astros have a good record against Seattle but I think the Seattle bats are a chance of knocking Keuchel around but I can't see Houston getting at Iwakuma.

Good punting 

NO runs in the 1st inning  -140

astros tt under although that is quite juicy also

IWAKUMA ALREADY LOST TO ASTROS THIS YEAR LIKE THE VALUE WIT THE DOG

I can't resist, perhaps I am polluted after watching this team flail away night after night . . . but these prices are not indicative of each team's true chances tonight . . . clearly this is my opinion, maybe i'm right, maybe i'm not, but I'm not passing up a chance to fade the Mariners and get rewarded with +220 for my trouble.

Houston Astros ML at +220 tonight

i think its a good value play as well but the best play in this game has to be mariners to score 1st at -130

How about Seattle most hits in the first inning @ +125 ?

lol or not

its honestly comical the idea that people out there lay 240 on the mariners in any situation

The mariners laying -240
