Latest on Miranda via Rotoworld: Miranda allowed two runs over five innings Thursday in notching a win over the Nationals. Miranda got the win even though Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez allowed as many runs in a slightly longer outing (two in 5 1/3 innings). The Mariners were trailing 2-0 when Miranda finished up, but they scored three runs in the top of the sixth and held on from there. Miranda has allowed four runs over 17 innings in his last three starts, lowering his ERA from 5.20 to 4.22.
Anderson pitched seven innings of one-run ball Thursday in a no-decision against the Phillies. If Jon Gray had been healthy, we wonder if the Rockies might have sent Anderson down at the end of April with his ERA at 7.71 and no starts of even six innings in length. He’s been far better this month, allowing a total of seven earned runs in 24 2/3 innings. He’s struck out 32 in four starts in May after totaling 24 in six in April.
Bet Tonight’s Mariners vs. Rockies Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Mariners are coming off back-to-back wins but they’re just 3-7 in their last 10 games overall, are 3-8 in their last 11 road games, and have dropped four of Miranda’s last five starts coming off four days of rest. The Rockies, meanwhile, are 4-1 in Anderson’s last five home starts versus a team with a losing record. They’re also a perfect 5-0 in their last five games coming off a loss.
