Guardians vs Mariners Prediction
Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings, but the Mariners are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Seattle. Over is 8-3 in their last 11 meetings.
In this Guardians vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -165 home favorites. The Mariners are looking for the bounce-back wins and the first one of the season by putting Kirby on the mound, who had been shaky at best last season. The Guardians are putting Gavin Williams on the mound, who had very good numbers last season overall and was excellent in his two starts against the Mariners, with just 3 earned runs in 11 innings pitched. The Guardians’ bullpen also looked great yesterday with just one earned run so I like the Guardians as road dogs in this spot. Take the Guardians on the moneyline for plus money.
