The Mariners trail the Oakland Athletics by 4.5 games for the second and final wild-card berth, and they will send 28-year-old Nicaraguan Erasmo Ramirez (0-2, 5.49 ERA) to the hill in hopes of winning the series opener.While his numbers do not look good overall on paper, Ramirez has pitched well in his last two starts and allowed just one run and seven hits in 10 innings Matt Duffy Jersey , with Seattle winning both games against the Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers. Why the Diamondbacks can pay on the MLB linesArizona will have a definitive edge in the pitching matchup with Zack Godley (13-6, 4.44 ERA) toeing the rubber at home. The 28-year-old has performed much better at Chase Field than he has on the road, going 6-2 there with a 3.33 ERA.In the previous three seasons, Godley was a better pitcher away from home, so he seems to have turned things around. He has been outstanding in his last two home starts too, giving up a total of two runs and seven hits in 14.1 innings versus the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers. Both resulted in team wins, although he walked away with one no-decision.Smart betting pickThe Diamondbacks have gone 8-5 in their last 13 interleague games http://www.raysfanproshop.com/authentic-steven-souza-jersey , according to the OddsShark MLB Database, after winning their last three against AL West opponents. Meanwhile, the Mariners have struggled in interleague play this season, losing nine of their past 12 versus NL foes. That is a clear advantage for Arizona in this spot.
