Southpaw hurler Erik Bedard was a big disappointment for the Seattle Mariners last season , because of shoulder, hip and back problems. Despite of what was described as a pain free spring in cactus league play, he was just 1-1 along with a bloated 5.56 ERA and looks primed to be beat around by a Minnesota team that plays their best baseball at home in the Metro Dome. It must be noted that the Twinkies have been especially tough when hosting lefties as is evident by their 18-3 L/21 record. Meanwhile, the Twins, will return fire with sophomore right hurler Nick Blackburn, who is off a 11-11 rookie season along with a 4.05 ERA. He has shown promise, and with his team winning 6 of his L/7 starts in the land of Lakes as favorite, looks like a viable pitcher to back. Both teams are missing integral offensive components with the Mariners playing without super star Ichiro and the Twins missing Joe Mauers bat ,so they are on even grounds personnel wise . The main difference maker will come via the pitching matchup and home field advantage.
Final notes & Key Trends: Mariners are 4-17 in their last 21 games with umpire Chuck Meriwether behind home plate . The Twins pounded out 27 runs in three home wins over the Mariners last season. Bedard is 0-5 with a 4.84 ERA against the Twins in seven career starts.
