Brandon Lowe went 1-3, with a walk and home run in the game three win over Boston. Lowe’s enjoying a solid bounce back season, and he’s making great contact with the ball as of late. Lowe homered in the final two games against Boston, and he’s collected a hit in nine of his previous eleven games. The Newport News, VA native has also been making things happen on the base pads, recording a run scored in seven of his last nine contests. Lowe’s infield presence has been huge with the subtraction of Wander Franco, and he’ll look to have a good weekend here against Seattle. Lowe is posting a like of .234/19/62 for the season.

Mariners vs Rays LB BETTING PREDICTION
Seattle comes into the final leg of this ten-game road stretch on a bit of a skid, and while I believe the pitching matchup will fall heavily in their favor with Luis Castillo set to go, this series will have playoff implications, and you can bet Tampa’s going to come out swinging with both squads in play for an AL Wild Card spot. Castiilo’s presence affects the magic number, and I like targeting the total for this matchup, as both lineups have been hitting well, and have threats within. Take the Over for game one of the Seattle/Tampa series.
