Marlins at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Marlins 3, Mariners 2
Moneyline
BET MARLINS (+160).
Miami has not been swept in a series since dropping a 3-game set vs. the Braves, who are the World Series favorites at +425, from May 2-4. The Mariners have swept the Rockies and the Athletics (twice) this season, but have not been able to complete a sweep against a team with a winning record. Miami should be able to bounce back Wednesday after 2 bad losses and pull out a close victory with Pérez on the mound.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Miami +1.5 (-140) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Marlins should win straight up. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 7 (-115).
Miami’s pitching staff has helped keep games low-scoring after losses as the Under is 8-2 in Miami’s last 10 after dropping its previous game. The Under has hit in 7 of Seattle’s last 10 home games vs. right-handed starters and should cash again Wednesday with Pérez and Castillo as the starting pitchers.
