If you look not at the numbers but at the families...which is how I prefer to make projections, the Mariners are a groundball-happy team...Sweeney, Figgins, Ichiro, Lopez, Gutierrez, Kotchman...all groundball hitters. Wilson too. Braden is a moderate flyball pitcher, which means we should expect lots of elevated pitches that the groundball guys can hit on a line instead of pound into the ground.
My pick to click: Chone Figgins
My predicted final score: 8-3 Ms
