Seattle Mariners (34-40) vs Baltimore Orioles (34-40)

The Mariners being favored at home makes sense because they’re finally getting the Robbie Ray they expected to get when they signed him to the big deal in the offseason off of Ray’s Cy young award. However, I the three starts that Ray’s had where he looks like he’s “back,” allowing two runs in 20 innings of work, the M’s have a 2-1 record, the loss came despite seven shutout innings from Ray as Seattle couldn’t plate any runs against Boston and in his last start, the Mariners only managed to scratch out two runs in a 2-1 win against an Oakland team that’s been dreadful at home this season. That’s not going to work against a Baltimore team that’s the most profitable in baseball at this point in the year and is playing their best baseball of the season in the last couple of weeks, winning 11 of their last 16 games and I’d argue it’s been some of their best baseball over the course of this rebuild that’s gone on over the last five seasons. Dean Kremer goes for Baltimore here and he’s been a lot better than the Kremer we’re used to, going 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA and a 0.84 ERA on the road in a 10.2 inning sample size this season. The O’s have also won Kremer’s last three starts and were competitive in his season debut. I think the O’s rise up to the occasion once again and provide some more value just as they did on Monday. Give me the O’s here.
