Seattle at Oakland

Felix Hernandez is living up to his potential of being a No. 1 starter. Thus far he has worked 21.2 innings and pitched to a 1.66 ERA, but more importantly, he has dominated the A's during his carrer. Hernandez enters this game with a 5-2 mark and a low 2.29 ERA against the A's. The A's have won just one of Blanton's first four starts and his ERA is over four. We like the matchup here and will ride with the Mariners.
