10* MARINERS RUNLINE (ASSASSIN)

Seattle has a lot working in its favor today from a situational stand-point. The Mariners went into the All Star game on a 14-game winning run, but they fell flat at home in their first series vs. the Astros, losing 0-3. However, the Mariners pulled themselves up and dusted themselves off with 3-0 sweep over the Texans at home in their next series after that. Houston on the other hand went on the road and just went 0-3 at Oakland. Seattle has the "revenge" factor working in its favor today, as well as clearly having a ton of momentum coming into this series as well. I'll give the slight nod to Logan Gilbert over Jose Urquidy as well as far as the starting pitchers are concerned. Gilbert is 10-4 with a 2.77 ERA and Urquidy is 9-4 with a 3.93 ERA. In a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm laying this price with confidence and grabbing the extra 1.5 runs of insurance; the play is Seattle on the runline option!
