Guardians vs. Mariners Prediction
I’m leaning towards the under here. Anytime I see these two teams lined up against one another on the marquee, the under is immediately going to be my first look. These are two teams that usually win games with solid pitching and small ball, and aren’t going to be lighting any scoreboards on fire anytime soon. Kirby was solid in his debut and I think he holds the Guardians in check here, but Logan Allen’s also a better arm than what we saw in his debut. I think this is going to be a low-scoring duel, so give me the under here.
