Mariners vs Cardinals Prediction
I’m on the Mariners in this one. I just can’t trust Matthew Liberatore in this spot, and I think that the Mariners, who once again found a way to pull one out of the fire, can get to Liberatore here. The Mariners have a clear edge in starting pitching with George Kirby going here, and I look for Kirby to pitch a gem against this inconsistent Cardinals offense and to get the win here. Give me Seattle.
