The Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners meet Sunday in MLB action at T-Mobile Park. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Red Sox vs Mariners prediction.
Red Sox Betting Preview
The Red Sox look to rebound from a 1-2 start before taking on the Athletics. The Red Sox lost in extra innings on Saturday, and the offense has scored a combined 3 runs in their last 19 innings. The Red Sox also must have lost a bet with schedule makers, considering they start the season with 10 straight road games. Ceddanne Rafaela leads the Red Sox with 4 hits and 1 RBI, while Connor Wong and Masataka Yoshida have combined for 6 hits and 2 RBI. Garrett Whitlock gets the ball for the Red Sox, and he was 5-5 with a 5.15 ERA and 72 strikeouts last season. Whitlock is 0-0 with a 8.44 ERA and 6 strikeouts in his career against the Mariners. The Red Sox will meet the Athletics and Angels following this series.
Mariners Betting Preview
The Mariners look for a third straight win before taking on the Guardians. The Mariners got a feel good extra innings win on Saturday, and the pitching staff has allowed a combined 9 runs through their first 3 games. The Mariners have won 6 straight games when allowing 3 or fewer runs. Mitch Haniger leads the Mariners with 3 hits and 3 RBI, while Josh Rojas and Julio Rodriguez have combined for 6 hits and 1 RBI. Bryce Miller gets the ball for the Mariners, and he was 8-7 with a 4.32 ERA and 119 strikeouts last season. This will be Miller’s second career game against the Red Sox. The Mariners will take on the Guardians after this series.

Red Sox vs Mariners prediction
The Mariners winning last night in walk off fashion is massive for the confidence on a quick turnaround. Whitlock has gotten worse through his first 3 seasons, and he’s coming off a 5.15 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Miller was hit or miss his rookie season, but he showed flashes with 119 strikeouts in 131.1 innings. The price is reasonable. I’ll side with the momentum and back the Mariners at home for a third straight victory.
