We have a lot of respect for Felix Hernandez, but his Seattle Mariners are playing terrible ball right now, so we will back the Minnesota Twins and Francisco Liriano at home here at a reasonable price.

The Mariners have lost five straight games, and they have scored a pathetic total of four runs in their last four games. Also, Hernandez was not sharp in his last start as he was roughed up for six earned runs and 10 hits in six innings at home vs. the Texas Rangers, and he is now facing a Twins lineup that is batting a nice .287 vs. right-handed pitching at home so far this season.

Liriano was off to a very slow start, but he is now rounding to form nicely as he has recorded back-to-back Quality Starts while allowing exactly two runs on each occasion. Remember that Liriano is one of the best pitchers in baseball when he is on top of his game, and his last two starts indicate that he is starting to round into his usual dominant form.

Liriano lost to the Mariners back on April 6 when he allowed four runs, but he only allowed four hits in seven innings and he was not nearly as sharp then as he is now, so look for him to get some revenge here.
