The Tampa Bay Rays (43-28) and Seattle Mariners (36-36) play the third of a four-game set Saturday with a 10:10 p.m. ET first pitch at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rays vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP Josh Fleming is the projected starting pitcher for the Rays. He is 6-4 with a 3.20 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 5.3 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 56 1/3 IP over 5 starts and 6 relief appearances.
Fleming allowed one walk in four hitless, scoreless innings against the Orioles Sunday, and he earned the victory. He has won four of his past five starts and five of his previous six decisions dating back to May 6.
RHP Logan Gilbert is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. He is 2-2 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 28 1/3 IP over 6 starts.
Gilbert allowed one earned run and four hits with one walk and six strikeouts across a career-high 6 2/3 innings in a win Sunday in Cleveland. He has won two straight starts and the first two of his career.

Money line (ML)
MARINERS (+120) is the play again Saturday as they continue to give the Rays (-145) fits in Seattle. The M’s took Friday’s game by a 5-1 count, and they have won each of the first two in the series. They should gain the series win with a victory behind Gilbert.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The MARINERS +1.5 (-135) aren’t too terribly expensive if you don’t trust them straight up and would like a little insurance. Seattle has covered the run line in six of the past seven games – either as a favorite or underdog.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 8 (-110) is the lean as you can’t expect a pitcher’s duel with two young hurlers on the bump. While we had just six total runs Saturday, the Over did cash in the opener Thursday. The Over has cashed in three straight starts by Gilbert, too.
