Heading into Tuesday’s interleague matchup between Washington and Seattle, the Mariners are the heavy favorite on the moneyline. Not only should Robbie Ray be able to keep the Nationals in check, but they should also have a good offensive night vs Erick Fedde. In his last 3 outings, Fedde has not pitched into the 6th inning and has an overall WHIP of 1.54. I like Seattle to cover the runline.
