Season series: Mariners lead 2-0
The Rockies have dropped 4 in a row after a 9-2 defeat in Seattle Saturday night. The Rockies are now 2-6 away from Coors Field. The bats are the problem as they’re hitting .230 with a .292 OBP on the road vs. .298 and .342 OBP at home.
Seattle has won 3 in a row after a 3-game losing skid. OF Jarred Kelenic has a 9-game hitting streak and is hitting .356 with 4 homers and 7 RBIs on the year. Superstar OF Julio Rodriguez really hasn’t done much yet with a .254 BA and 2 homers, but he drove in 4 runs Saturday.

Rockies at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Rockies 3
Moneyline
I take Castillo’s poor numbers against Colorado with a grain of salt. He’s a better pitcher in a much-better ballpark. He has allowed just 3 H and 2 BB while fanning 12 in 11 2/3 scoreless innings at home this year. The -300 is priced correctly, but you can’t risk 3 times your return.
Head to the Win/Total section and take MARINERS AND OVER 5.5 (-135).
Run line/Against the spread
Barely getting plus-money on a game you must win by 3 or more isn’t a good bet to make, though it should happen.
PASS.
With Kelenic on a 9-game hitting streak and a pitcher making his 1st start, he’s a bargain to get a hit Sunday. Take JARRED KELENIC OVER 0.5 HITS (-150).

Over/Under
The wind is blowing out to left-center field at 15 mph. There is also a 97% chance of rain, which could put this game into jeopardy. The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and 4-1 in the last 5 in Seattle. However, the wind, Colorado starting a rookie pitcher and 3 of Seattle’s last 4 games with 8 or more runs will make me LEAN OVER 8 (-110).
