The Seattle Mariners have opened the week with a couple of wins, but I don't see the Rays allowing them to sweep this three-game series, especially as it would also earn the Mariners a sweep of the season series.

Tampa Bay left-hander Josh Fleming (8-5, 4.15 ERA) has been excellent home at Tropicana Field, coming into this contest with a 5-2 record and a 2.23 ERA in his home outings. Mariners' rookie right-hander Logan Gilbert (5-2, 4.04 ERA) is 4-0 with a 3.14 ERA on the road, but note that the Rays are averaging 5.23 runs per nine innings at home against right-handers.

Lastly, the Rays have a big bullpen advantage with their relievers combining for a 3.03 ERA on the season, the second-best mark across the big leagues.

8* play on Tampa Bay Rays.
