Mariners vs Guardians Prediction
The teams have traded victories in the past couple of years, each recording five of the previous ten H2H encounters. Eight of the last ten H2Hs went Over, and I am backing another one here. Tanner Bibee allowed multiple runs in each of his previous three starts, nine in total, so I believe the Mariners can score 3+ off him on Saturday. George Kirby, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in each of his four starts, and Cleveland will have a nice chance to get to him early on. Go with Over.
