Twins at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 3, Twins 2
Moneyline
LEAN MARINERS (-135).
These teams are very evenly matched, but the Mariners have the minor advantage in a few areas. Seattle is a slightly better home team than the Twins are as an away team. It also has the advantage in the pitching matchup. Seattle is 3-2 in Gilbert’s last 5 starts and 2-0 in his last 2 starts vs. Minnesota. Meanwhile Minnesota is 1-4 in Gray’s last 5 starts and 1-2 in his last 3 starts vs. Seattle.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I’m not too confident on either team for this bet but if I had to choose I would lean toward the Twins to cover, however at +1.5 (-190) they are far too heavy of a favorite to risk betting on.

BET UNDER 7 (+105).
The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings and is 7-3 in the last 10 matchups. The Under is also 7-3 in Seattle’s last 10 overall, 3-1-1 in Gilbert’s last 5 starts, and 2-0 in Gilbert’s starts vs. Minnesota.
The Under is 3-1-1 in Gray’s last 5 starts and 2-0-1 in his last 3 starts vs. Seattle.
