This is a 10* play on the Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners have had their way with Baltimore's pitching staff in this series, and I expect that to continue at Safeco on Sunday.

Ubaldo Jimenez will toe the slab for the Orioles, and he's been getting roughed up all year long. Jimenez (5-7, 6.63 ERA) allowed one run on three hits and four walks over five innings in a win at San Diego his last time out. He was torched for six runs on five hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings in a home loss to Seattle earlier this season. Robinson Cano was 3-for-4 in that game, and the Mariners slugger is 8-for-14 with a pair of home runs lifetime versus Jimenez.

The Mariners hand the ball to Hisashi Iwakuma, who is coming off a solid performance. Iwakuma (7-6, 4.34 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings in a home win over the Pirates his last time out. He's won four in a row at Safeco, and he's sporting a 1.90 ERA in his last three starts versus Baltimore.

The Orioles have lost six of their last seven when Jimenez starts on the road.

Take SEA.
