Why the Mariners on Tuesday at +115...the Mariners will look to take game two of this pivotal AL East series after a 7-4 W on Monday. Mike Leake will take the ball for Seattle who has been sharp over his L20 IP, posting a 2.18 era on 19 H, 2 BBs and 1 HR. With a BOB Score of 540 heading into the Tuesday matchup, this is a trustworthy spot to back Leake at home, who has allowed 8 ER over his L18 IP at home on 2 HRs and 0 BBs. Looking into Leake's last start against the Astros, which came on August 10th, he posted his highest GB% of the season with a 68% rate (season average 49%). That is a positive sign for Leake heading home, where he has been susceptible of giving up the long ball with 10 HRs allowed. The Astros, losers of five out of their last seven with a .207 BA, will start Brad Peacock who will be making his first start of the season. On the road, Peacock carries a 3.13 era with 4 HRs allowed over 23 IP. Looking into his splits, the HRs are being generated by LHH, where Peacock has allowed 7 HRs over 19 IP. That doesn't bode well for Brad against this Mariners lineup who will be LHH heavy tonight against a starting pitcher who has not gone further than 3 IP in any appearance this season. Mariners with a combined 110 ABs against Peacock to match a .291 BA with 4 HRs.
