2008 MLB Betting Preview - Seattle Mariners

[Shame About Ray]

Following an 88-win season where the Seattle Mariners unexpectedly competed for the American League West division crown, expectations have grown now that the team acquired ace Erik Bedard.

Felix Hernandez is coming off a down season, but if he can bounce-back to his ace-like form of 2006, the Mariners will have a dangerous one-two punch.

Following King Felix will be Carlos Silva, Miguel Batista and Jarrod Washburn. This fivesome looks very solid.

The addition of Silva bolsters the three-spot and more importantly bumps Washburn down a notch.

Silva was 3-1 against the Mariners last year, so consider his signing an addition by subtraction from an opponent.
