1. Mariners +141
Originally thought this was a game to take cleveland but the more i look at it you have to land on the mariners here. They are on an absolute roll right now after sweeping SD, they are 8-2 over their last ten games and 3-0 as an underdog, along with 3-0 away from safeco. At some point the lack of innings that the starters are giving the team will hurt them but I think the pen should be all right in this game especially considering Clevelands bats are cool and they had to go extras yesterday, failing to score in 12 innings. Ill admit Byrd was alright in his debut this year in that snow game that got canceled where he nearly had a no-hitter going 4.2/3 but there were some walks in there and the conditions were almost unbearable. His only start of '06 vs the M's he got shelled going 3 innings and allowing 6 ER. The tribe is only 2-5 over their last ten vs righties and in three games at cincy they only scored 0,8 and 3 in those games which is a great ballpark to score runs.
