Guardians vs Mariners Betting Prediction
Cleveland had the luxury of opening their season with a four game series against the lowly Oakland Athletics and they were able to win three of those contests, but they will face a much better opponent here. Seattle split a four game series with Boston at home, which is a slightly disappointing result to start the season. Both of these starting pitchers saw very limited innings in 2023, but I think McKenzie is poised for a breakout season. This should be an entertaining series to watch, but I am going with Cleveland to win game one.
