Guardians vs Mariners Prediction

 

Our prediction for today’s Guardians vs. Mariners matchup is to take the Mariners on the money line, with the payout currently sitting at -124. We actually have the Mariners winning this one 5-4, so you could also look to take them on the run line if you can get them at +1.
