The Seattle Mariners are 8-2 on the year following a 9-2 triumph over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. They look good to pick up another win here in the finale of this three-game set with 34 year old southpaw Wade LeBlanc on the mound.

LeBlanc (1-0, 6.75 ERA) was roughed up for six runs by Boston last Sunday but was still rewarded with the W. He is 1-0 with a 2.35 in five career appearances (two starts) against the White Sox who hand the ball to Ivan Nova (0-0, 1.29 ERA) who was dominant against Cleveland in his season debut, but Nova is 0-0 with a 3.94 ERA in three career starts against the Mariners.

Seattle leads the majors with 24 homers on the season, and I see no reason to pass up on arguably the hottest team in baseball.

8* play on Seattle Mariners.
