Reds vs Mariners prediction
The Mariners have to prove they can string together wins, as they’ve been shaky over their first 17 games. However, Hunter Greene has had control issues throughout his career, and he’s coming off a rough per romance against the Brewers. Greene is talented and can be great when locked in, but he struggles with consistency and can be all over the place at times. Logan Gilbert has been decent, allowing 6 runs in 20.1 innings while striking out 23. I’ll side with the Mariners and the cheap price at home.
