The Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Saturday in MLB action at Chase Field. The Mariners look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Diamondbacks need a win after losing six of their last seven games.
The Seattle Mariners have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Mariners have won seven of their last nine games when scoring four or more runs. Ty France leads the Mariners with 137 hits and 60 RBI while J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger have combined for 258 hits and 111 RBI. Marco Gonzales gets the ball, and he is 6-5 with a 4.02 ERA and 83 strikeouts this season.

The Mariners are 5-2 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series and 1-4 in their last 5 Saturday games. The Diamondbacks are 5-22 in their last 27 Saturday games and 0-4 in their last 4 during game 2 of a series. The under is 5-0 in Mariners last 5 overall. The over is 5-2 in Diamondbacks last 7 overall. The over is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings.
Gonzales is coming off a great month of August, allowing 26 hits and seven runs in 40 innings. The Mariners also need to win if there’s any chance of sneaking into the playoffs. The Arizona Diamondbacks are piling up the losses and their pitching staff gets rocked more times than not. Only option here for me is to side with the Mariners, especially with a cheap price.
