MLB Picks for the Night

Guaranteed Pick of the Night

All-Star Felix Hernandez takes the mound tonight for the surprising Mariners as they play the second of a 3 game series at Cleveland. Hernandez has been tough all year, particularly in games away from Safeco, where he has gone 5-1 with a 1.94 ERA. Hernandez hasn't lost a start in his last 9 outings and expect that streak to continue tonight. Indians starter David Huff has struggled somewhat this year, compiling a 4-3 record with a 6.71 ERA. Huff hasn't started and exited a game this year with his ERA under 5, with his most recent start going 4 1/3 against the White Sox and giving up 7 earned runs. That is why we pick the Mariners to take this one quite easily, covering the 1.5 spread.

Seattle Mainers -1.5 (+105)
Cleveland Indians +1.5 (-125)
