This is an 8* play on SEATTLE

Seattle hasn't had many easy victories of late, or really many victories at all, but they were able to win 11-6 yesterday here in Detroit. The Mariners are now 5-0 this season against the Tigers, who are one of the few teams in the American League with a worse record. Of course, everyone - AL and NL - has a better record than Detroit, who is just 35-81 while getting outscored by 233 runs. They've been especially bad at home, getting outscored by almost three full runs per game! Seattle beat the Tigers' best pitcher (Matthew Boyd) yesterday, so getting by Edwin Jackson should not be a problem by comparison. Jackson has a 9.35 ERA and 1.92 WHIP this year. His last start was the best one, but that came against a weak-hitting Kansas City lineup. Remember that he was cut by a bad Toronto team (that doesn't exactly have great starting pitching) earlier in the year. Seattle's Marco Gonzales beat Detroit last month, holding them to one run in seven innings. His last start saw him give up only two runs in 6 1/3 innings. Three of his last four starts have seen him go six or more innings and allow no more than two runs. Play on SEATTLE
