Guardians vs Mariners Prediction
Miller has been a mess in limited frames, as he has a 5.98 ERA and 1.50 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 17 hits and 13 runs in his last 15 innings. Not a consistent schedule and struggling when he does take the mound, I want nothing to do with Miller. However, Bibee hasn’t been himself this season either, and that includes allowing 33 hits and 19 earned runs in his last 27.1 innings. Bibee has allowed nine runs in his last 11.2 innings. This feels like a high scoring game in a matchup of two pitchers who couldn’t get you and me out right now. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
