Mariners vs Rays Prediction
The teams have traded wins in the past few years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters. The Mariners won five of the last six and each of the previous three, but even though I am leaning toward Seattle in this one, I am opting for Over instead. Adrian Houser didn’t have the best of debuts for the Rays, as he allowed five runs against the White Sox, while he allowed three runs in two starts before that. I am backing the M’s to score 3+ against him here. Bryan Woo, on the other hand, surrendered multiple runs in three of his previous four starts. I am backing both offenses to combine for at least five runs in the opening five innings. Go with Over.
