The Mariners come into this series as one of the hottest teams in baseball and Julio Rodriguez has been hitting very well. Chicago has been a big disappointment this year and they are only 25-33 at home. Seattle is starting Luis Castillo, who has allowed 4, 1, and 7 earned runs in his last three outings. Chicago is starting Touki Toussaint, who has allowed 11 earned runs in his last three starts (14.1 IP). I think we are going to see plenty of runs scored here and I like the over.
