Chris Flexen (2-7 4.35 ERA 1.39 WHIP) gets the nod for Game 1 of this AL series and in his last start gave up two runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings but got little help from the lineup in a 4-1 loss to the New York Mets. The Mariners had won his previous two starts where he gave up four runs in 12 innings.
Ty France leads the team in batting average (.325) and RBI (38) and he had six hits in four games before going hitless in the last game. Eugenio Suarez leads the Mariners with 11 HR, has two in the last 10 games and has raised his batting average (.239) 23 points in the last 13 games. The team has won their last 6 games after back-to-back losses.

I like Seattle at home as they have the better pitching and bullpen to grab the win on Monday night.
