Miami Marlins at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Miami Marlins at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with expert MLB picks, predictions and best bets.

The Miami Marlins (37-30) and the Seattle Mariners (32-33) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Tuesday at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 1-0

The Marlins were one of the hottest teams in the majors entering this series, winning 12 of their last 15 games, before getting thumped 8-1 in the series opener Monday. The Mariners racked up 10 hits, while the Marlins were limited to a lone solo HR by C Nick Fortes.

The Mariners have managed to win just 4 of their past 12 games but they did look very good in dispatching the Marlins in the series opener. The offense hasn’t been a problem lately, with Seattle averaging a respectable 5.0 runs per game (RPG), but the pitching has been causing issues. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 outings.

Marlins at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Marlins 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-155) are a solid value at home as moderate favorites.

The Marlins would be the play if this game was in Miami, as Cabrera has a stellar 5-0 record with a 2.61 ERA with a .204 opponent batting average at loanDepot park. However, he is coming off an injury to his hand last time out and has a stinking 0-4 record with a  5.91 ERA and 22 walks in just 32 IP in 7 road outings.

Back the home side to make it 2-for-2 in this interleague series.

Run line/Against the spread

The MARINERS -1.5 (+135) are a decent play on the run line.

Seattle has won just 3 times in the past 6 outings, winning by at least 3 runs in each of the victories.

The Marlins are 2-3 straight up in their last 5 games as underdogs, although they are a solid 3-1 in the past 4 on the run line as ‘dogs and have won outright in 6 of their last 9 games as underdogs.

While that sounds like a reason to back the road team, Cabrera’s splits are horrendous away from home. Look to the Marlins in Wednesday’s finale but not in this one.

Over/Under

OVER 8 (+100) is the lean Tuesday.

The Under has dominated for the Marlins lately, cashing in 4 of the past 5 games overall, while also going 4-1 in the past 5 against a right-handed starting pitcher.

The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games for the M’s while going 4-1 in the past 5 vs. RHP, while cashing at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 against winning teams, too.
