Trends
Seattle is 3-7 in their last 10 Sunday games and 5-2 in their last 7 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. Atlanta is 54-23 in their last 77 home games and 3-7 in their last 10 games against the AL West while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I like George Kirby, but the Braves are swinging such a hot bat right now that it’s really hard to blindly ignore. On the other side, the Mariners haven’t been lighting the world on fire offensively, but I think they can get to Jared Shuster for a few runs here and give us some fireworks to close things out on Sunday.
