The King returns tonight for his first start since he was last seen getting his ankle rolled on a play at the plate at Shea Stadium.
At first glance -110 seems like a pretty decent price to back Felix, as he was great in his stretch of starts leading up to his injury at NY. The mariners pen should be in okay shape tonight, in spite of another extra inning affair on Thursday. I won't read too much into Morrow's debacle yet. He didn't look that sharp in the bullpen and certainly carried that form into the game. I do think the Mariners pen will wear down as we progress into August, but I'm okay counting on them now to perform well if the mariners get a lead. I think it's worth noting that Felix has been great in starting the past two seasons.
Luke Hochevar has been average and he is a lefty. The former has been able to dominate the Mariners this season, while the latter has had more difficulties.
I do think the release of Sexson won't do much for the team until they also release Vidro, and perhaps get lucky with a call-up or Johjima playing first base. The release will certainly hurt the attitude muscle.
