Pick

I’m backing the over here. I like George Kirby, but the Braves are swinging such a hot bat right now that it’s really hard to blindly ignore. On the other side, the Mariners haven’t been lighting the world on fire offensively, but I think they can get to Jared Shuster for a few runs here and give us some fireworks to close things out on Sunday.
