Mariners +16

Minnesota is a dangerous team still. Richie Sexon starts off the game with a two run double and then the team scuffles for a third run off of Johan Santana, last year's Cy Young winner. Minnesota ties the game with a big inning against the relievers but Richie mends his reputation with the home crowd with a walk off home run in the 9th. (Jeff Weaver's got a ways to go yet.) They have to keep winning these games to stay in it, but they are finally hitting good pitching and their pitchers are keeping it close. If they keep it up, they will have an October. But they've gotta keep it up.
