Red Sox vs Mariners Betting Prediction
These two teams split the first two games of this series, but Seattle did get the shutout win on Friday and they should have some momentum coming into this matchup. Seattle is expected to have another very competitive team this season, but I want to see their offense take a step forward this season. Seattle has a very solid lineup, but they need to avoid games like Friday where they don’t generate much. Seattle is going with Logan Gilbert, who was very good last season, and I like the Mariners to pick up another win in this game. Take Seattle here.
