Seattle Mariners vs NY Mets Prediction
I’m on the Mariners here. It’s going to be interesting to see how Seattle fares against a righty for the first time this series, but so far, Seattle’s had no problems taking down the Mets easily in the first two games of the series and I think the finale on Sunday is no different. The Mets just haven’t been able to find anything in this series, and I’m not expecting much else here. Give me the Mariners in this one.
