Russ Laribee
Minnesota at Seattle
Pick: Seattle-1.5 +151
The Minnesota Twins struggles on the road, have left them with the fewest road wins in the American League with just 6. They will start Francisco Liriano, who continues to struggle, trying to come back from surgery. Liriano is pitching to a 2-7 record with a 6.60 ERA, and has failed to get out of the 4th inning in each of his last 3 starts. He has allowed 25 hits in just 12 innings over those 3 starts, walking 6 in the process, or 31 baerunners, which is close to 3 per inning. The Mariners will send their rising star to the mound in Felix Hernandez. Hernandez is pitching to a 3.41 ERA, recording 72 strikeouts along the way. Twins have to face the fact they are 6-16 on the road for the season, with a struggling pitcher, and going up against an all-star caliber pitcher. I'm going with the Mariners here on the runline.
