St. Louis Cardinals vs Seattle Mariners Prediction 

Seattle was able to pick up the win in game one of this series on Friday night and they are looking for their fourth straight win here. The Mariners are just 31-42 on the road, while the Cardinals are 36-33 at home. Seattle has played very poorly over the last few months and they need to finish the season red-hot if they want to sneak into the postseason.

The Mariners are starting Logan Gilbert, who has really struggled in his last two road starts. The Cardinals are going with Kyle Gibson, who has been very hit-or-miss this season. Gibson has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two of his last three starts but did allow seven earned runs in his last home start. I don’t love either starting pitcher in this spot, but I will fade the Mariners on the road. Take the Cardinals here.
