The Seattle Mariners will play the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of their series at Tropicana Field on Thursday afternoon.

The Seattle Mariners are 11-7 this season and have won four of their last five games. Seattle has split the first two games of this series, winning by a score of 8-4 in Game 1 and losing by a score of 3-2 in Game 2. The Seattle pitching staff has a 3.04 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and a .222 opponent batting average this season. The Mariners offense has scored 87 runs with a .237 batting average and a .331 on base percentage. Ty France is batting .366 with five home runs and 21 RBI’s for the Mariners this season. The projected starter for Seattle is Chris Flexen, who is 1-2 with a 3.63 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 17.1 innings pitched.

The Tampa Bay Rays are 10-8 this season and have won three of their last four games. Prior to this series, Tampa Bay won two of three against the Boston Red Sox. The Tampa Bay pitching staff has a 3.21 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, and a .208 opponent batting average. The Rays offense has scored 78 runs with a .245 batting average and a .320 on base percentage this year. Wander Franco is batting .319 with four home runs and 12 RBI’s for the Rays this season. The projected starter for Tampa Bay is Jeffrey Springs, who is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP over 7 innings pitched this season.

Seattle is 4-1 in their last 5 games and 19-9 in their last 28 road games. The over is 4-1 in Seattle’s last 5 Thursday games. Tampa Bay is 12-4 in their last 16 Thursday games and 53-23 in their last 76 home games. The under is 5-1-1 in Tampa Bay’s last 7 Thursday games. Seattle is 37-19 in these two teams last 56 head to head meetings.

These two teams are pretty evenly matched and have provided an entertaining series through the first two games. Seattle has scored a good amount of runs this season and has a pretty solid starter on the mound in this one. I like the value Seattle is getting here on the road.
