Guardians vs Mariners Prediction
Our prediction for this Guardians vs. Mariners matchup is to take the Mariners to pick up the win at home. However, with the money line payout being -164, we actually prefer to take the over, with the line sitting at 7.5 runs.
Looking at the starting pitchers, George Kirby is projected to finish with a higher strikeout total than Logan Allen, but we still have the Mariners’ starter finishing with just four K’s. As for Allen, he is projected to finish with three strikeouts.
Offensively, we actually have the Guardians finishing with more hits than the Mariners, but Seattle is projected to hit more home runs. If you’re looking for a player prop bet, you could look at the Mariners’ team home run total.
