Diamondbacks vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. I am going with the D-backs in this one because of the favorable pitching matchup. Kelly has been in better form than Hancock, who did improve recently, but Kelly registered four quality starts in his last six. Also, Kelly allowed a .182 BA in 44 at-bats against Seattle. Back Arizona to open this series with a W.
