Mike Leake gets the start for the Mariners on Sunday. He has started 25 games this year and has an 8-7 record with a 3.90 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Leake has 96 strikeouts with 31 walks over 154.2 innings of work.

MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners are 8-2 in their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record and they are also 8-2 in Leake’s last 10 road starts.

Arizona

The Diamondbacks are 13-6 in their last 19 interleague home games and 8-2 in their last 10 games following a loss.

Prediction:

Seattle has had Arizona’s number in this series, but I see Arizona getting the nod on Sunday. The Diamondbacks are turning to one of their best pitchers in Greinke. I think he should be able to contain this Seattle lineup. Leake has been pretty strong as well, but I just think Arizona is due to break out at the plate this afternoon.

 

The Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks -165
