(3%) SEATTLE. The Mariners gained an important game on the Astros last night. With Gilbert on the mound, I expect them to keep their positive momentum going today. Houston is facing Nola, at Philadelphia. So, the M's know if they can win, they may be able to gain more ground. Either way, they need to take advantage of this favorable matchup. With a 3.21 ERA and 0.97 WHIP, Gilbert is much better than his 7-10 record suggests. That's particularly true at home. Averaging more than six innings, he's got an excellent 2.53 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 12 starts here. While lack of run support has hurt, Gilbert should get some this evening. Springs is 0-2 with a 7.56 ERA and 2.16 WHIP on the road. Look for Gilbert to outlast Springs as the M's keep on rolling. *reduce to 2% if higher than -155
