Seattle. RL. 3 units
Tampa. RL. 3 units.
I'm playing these together because they are so much alike. I can't think of two more dominant pitchers in the past month that Price and Felix. I have watched them both, and they look extremely confident, pitching with excellent command, and their stuff is almost unhittable. There's top of the line pitchers like Weaver and Kershaw and Verlander, but these 2 at this moment are just consistently amazing. And we all know that truly great pitching can even shut down the best of lineups.
I know I'll get some flack for taking Felix after his perfect game, but not all pitchers have a let down after a no hitter or perfect game. And Felix shut down the Rays, a hot team. Now he faces the horribly slumping Indians. The Mariners also are a winning streak and finally have some swagger. They are one of the top fielding teams in the AL, and seem to play even better D when Felix is on the mound. They face Roberto "Carmona" Hernandez, whose first start had him going 6 IPs, 0 walks and 0 Ks- but 10 hits and 6 runs. Seattle hit righties better, and Michael Saunders has got a very hot bat right now.
