Sunday Bases - Free 2* Premium Play
Hiashi Iwakuma gets the nod for the Mariners this afternoon as Seattle take on the Minnesota Twins. Iwakuma has just started to resemble of the Iwakuma of 2014. Over his last 4 outings, he has pitched to a 3.42 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. The righty has dominated Minnesota I his starts against them, he is 5-0 and hasn’t allowed an earned run in 33 2/3 innings of work. Robinson Cano returned to the Seattle line-up on Saturday and drove in a run in the first inning. Nelson Cruz extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a double last night, the Mariners offense have a combined 0.272 BA over their last 7 games.
Mike Pelfrey has been fairly inconsistent for the majority of the 2015 campaign; Pelfrey went 4-1 in 9 starts in April and May but is only 1-6 in in 10 outings in June and July. Opposing line-ups have hit well over 0.300 over his last 10 starts and is a sign of regression to his normal numbers. In 6 ‘Day’ starts, the Twins righty is 1-2 with a 5.23 ERA and 1.68 WHIP.
I believe the value is on the road team in this match-up, both on the mound and offensively. I’ll lay the small chalk with Seattle on Sunday.
