Always bet on the Money Line on all my baseball picks. This means that you are betting for the team to win straight up. Always bet on the point spread on all my basketball and American football picks. This means you are betting on them to cover the spread.
Note: The higher the star number, the more certain I am about the pick. I do not have a maximum star number limit. However, it is incredibly rare for me to have a play higher than 7 stars, but just keep in mind that there is no limit to the amount of stars I can attach to a pick. My star rating is based on the amount of inside info I have on the games being played. Over the years, the highest amount of stars I can remember having attached to a play is still much less than 10.
917 ARI (+117) Greek vs 918 SEA Analysis: Rookie Mike Montgomery has been a compelling story for the Mariners. The lefty had been pitching great with a 1.62 ERA during his first seven big league starts after spending seven seasons in the minors. But regression has caught up to Montgomery, who had been pitching way over his head.
In his last three starts, Montgomery is 0-2 with a 9.22 ERA. The Diamondbacks are more dangerous playing in an American League park - where they can DH their only defensive liability Yasmany Tomas. They rank seventh in weighted on-base average (WOBA) versus southpaws.
Robbie Ray also has looked good since his call-up from the minors. He didn't look good in his last start this past We™dnesday, but he had a 1.42 ERA in his previous two starts and has a 2.72 ERA on the season. He'll be helped pitching in spacious Safeco Field.
Ray has yet to yield an earned run during two starts versus AL clubs this season spanning 14 2/3 innings. He's backed by an Arizona defense that ranks second to the Royals in defensive runs saved.
The Mariners are 5-13 the past 18 times when favored between $1.10 and $1.50.
