The Seattle Mariners (20-28) and Baltimore Orioles (21-29) meet Tuesday to open a 3-game series at Camden Yards. First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Seattle Mariners at Baltimore Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting; Mariners won 4-3 last season.
The Mariners took 2 of 3 at home from the Houston Astros over the weekend but are still just 9-22 since April 27. Still, the series against Houston was a good one for a beleaguered-of-late Seattle pitching staff. The Mariners allowed just 3 runs against the Astros in the 3 games; they had been clipped for a 6.27 ERA in 11 games from May 15-25.
The Orioles took 3 of 5 at the Boston Red Sox over the holiday weekend. Baltimore logged double-digit run totals on Friday (12) and Monday (10), and it owns an above-average .718 OPS since May 19.

RHP George Kirby vs. RHP Bryan Baker
Kirby (0-1, 4.50 ERA) is tabbed for the 5th start of his rookie season. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 0.9 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 through 20 IP.
- Filed a season-high 9K in 5 IP in his last start (Wednesday vs. Oakland A’s).

Mariners at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Orioles 4
Money line
Seattle’s offense has struggled away from home (.646 road OPS), but that figure has been earned alongside a subpar batting average on balls in play. The Mariners have played a tough schedule and have been hemmed in by above average hitting and pitching in the opponents they’ve faced.
The visiting nine heads into this series after a Monday off day. The Mariners bullpen is rested and in good shape to support Kirby. The Orioles aren’t quite in the same boat and will be trying to bullpen this game.
BACK SEATTLE (-135).

Run line/Against the spread
The Seattle bullpen is rested, and overall, the Mariners have pitched better recently. PEG SEATTLE -1.5 (+120) as being the better side in this matchup. If you’re a bettor who likes to mesh money- and run-line plays, consider this option as being worthy of two-thirds or maybe 75% of the total (with the money line action on the undercard).
Over/Under
There are some underlying indicators that swing both ways here: PASS.
