Tampa Bay Rays vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I've been fading the Seattle Mariners a ton in the second half of the season, as they can't score and they look uninspired half the time. With that said, the Tampa Bay Rays are the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners are just 4.5 games back in the AL West and if there's any chance of making the postseason series like this at home are must wins. Also, Bryce Miller has been solid this season and has been ridiculous at home with a 2.09 ERA and allowed batting average under .200. You can argue the Mariners should be bigger favorites. Give me the M's at home.
