Steve Merril's MLB Report (Tuesday, June 24)

Below is a free MLB play for Tuesday night:

 OVER 9½ -110 (Mariners/Mets) (Dickey/Perez) – 7:10 pm ET #967

The Mariners should have plenty of success tonight against Oliver Perez as Seattle has been much stronger versus left-handed pitchers this season, averaging 6.9 runs and batting .275 on the road versus LHP, compared to just 3.2 runs and .235 versus RHP.

Perez is due for a correction after a strong showing in his past three starts as he still has a weak 5.05 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in his 15 starts this season with a terrible 65-51 strikeout/walk ratio.

The Mets will be without 3B David Wright tonight, but they should still have plenty of offensive success against R.A. Dickey who remains one of the worst pitchers in the league. Dickey has an awful 5.77 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 11 games this season, and he has been horrendous in his three starts with a 13.49 ERA and 2.65 WHIP.
