Corey’s Free Pick

Seattle got back to business with a shutout victory last night, and they come into a great spot to close things out with Luis Castillo set to go at home. Castillo has been as advertised at T-Mobile Park this season, and he should be able to handle a makeshift Halos lineup on his own turf. Seattle should also feel the added pressure to win now, so let’s lean on them to close this series strong.
