Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox Prediction 3-29-24 Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Red Sox vs Mariners betting prediction for this MLB showdown on Friday, March 29th at T-Mobile Park. We will take a look at: 

-The Boston Red Sox recent form and recent player performance

-The Seattle Mariners recent form and recent player performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Red Sox and Mariners. 

Red Sox Offense is Just Enough

The Red Sox offense scored six runs on Thursday, and that was enough to win by two runs. The Red Sox started the scoring in the third inning with two runs, and they never looked back on the way to the victory. Rafael Devers got out to a fast start, finishing with two hits and two RBIs. Getting the start for the Red Sox will be Nick Pivetta and there are high expectations for him. Last season, he finished with a 10-9 record and an ERA of 4.04. The Red Sox needs to get the bats out to a fast start here, and not let George Kirby settle in. 

Can the Mariners Get Better Pitching here? 

Luis Castillo started for the Mariners on Thursday, and he wasn’t good enough. Castillo went five innings, giving up six hits and four earned runs. Getting the start for the Mariners will be George Kirby, and last season he finished with a 13-10 record and an ERA of 3.35. He gave up 71 earned runs in 31 games. Mitch Haniger was the top offensive player, putting up two hits and two RBIs. Even though he had a big game, it wasn’t enough because of the bad pitching. The Mariners will play against the Guardians and Brewers after this series.

Red Sox vs Mariners Betting Prediction

The Red Sox won the first game of the season, but it will be the Mariners that are going to get the job done here. George Kirby was strong last year for the Mariners, and the offense for the Red Sox isn’t going to be as good here. Look for the Red Sox to finish with only two or three runs. The Mariners’ offense is going to give Kirby some run support, and Seattle will get the job done. Back the Mariners.
