When scoring four or more runs in their last 10 games, the Seattle Mariners have won seven of those games. Ty France, who has 85 hits and 35 runs batted in, is the Seattle Mariners' leading player. Julio Rodriguez and Teoscar Hernandez have a combined 159 hits and 91 runs batted in for the team. The next pitcher is Luis Castillo, who has a record of 5-6 with a 2.86 earned run average and 108 strikeouts so far this season. The Seattle Mariners have a record of 2-5 in their last 7 games played on Sunday, and they have a similar record of 2-5 in their past 7 games played during game 3 of a series. In the last eight games played overall by the Seattle Mariners, the over is 6-2.

The Tampa Bay Rays have scored at least four runs in nine of their previous 12 games, including a total of 24 runs in their most recent three games. The Tampa Bay Rays have a record of 4-4 in their last 10 games in which they have scored four runs or more.

The Tampa Bay Rays and a money line win are always intriguing, but for lower odds, we are getting the home team and a player who has been an all-star three times. Luis Castillo has had a fantastic season, posting a 2.86 earned run average, a 1.06 walk-to-hit ratio, and 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings on average. Castillo has struggled this season to provide adequate run support, but he has still been outstanding overall. As a result, a victory for the Seattle Mariners is deserving of consideration in this scenario, given the fact that they will be competing at their own stadium.
