Twins at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Twins 4, Mariners 3
Moneyline
The TWINS (-110) are decent play in the series finale, as Castillo just isn’t going well for the Mariners (-110). The Seattle veteran has a 5.08 ERA across 28 1/3 IP in 5 starts in June, and he has walked 11 batters while allowing 25 hits.
Run line/Against the spread
The MARINERS +1.5 (-190) are a little on the pricey side, at least for a standalone wager. However, as part of a Same-Game Parlay or multi-leg parlay, tossing the Mariners into your ticket is not a bad idea.
Seattle is just 3-7 in the past 10 games, but it is a respectable 7-7 across the past 14 outings, while cashing on the run line as an underdog at a 6-3 clip in the past 9 on the run line.
Over/Under
Total 7 should be skipped, as I expect it to come right down on the number in this afternoon finale. If there was a lean, it would be to the Under, which was cashed in each of the 1st 2 games in this series. However, the Over is 6-3 in the past 9 games for the Twins, so it’s best to AVOID.
