Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m backing Arizona in this one. A decent start to the year is not going to convince me that Bryce Miller is a changed starter all of a sudden, as Miller had ERAs under six both home and away last season. The Diamondbacks have had some issues in this series, but they’ve still been hot over the last couple of weeks and Merrill Kelly’s in some solid form after a rough start to the year. I’ll back Arizona to pick up the win and avoid the sweep.
