The Seattle Mariners (57-52) take on the Boston Red Sox (56-50) Wednesday in the finale of a 3-game set at Fenway Park at 4:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Tied 3-3
The M’s dropkicked the Sox with 8 runs in the 5th and 6th innings to take control of a 10-6 win Tuesday. SS Dylan Moore continued his hot hitting with 2 hits and 3 RBIs. He has hits in 5 straight games. The Mariners have won 4 of 5 as they continue their march toward October.
The Red Sox have lost 3 of 4 and are just 3-7 over the last 10 games. After leading the league in ERA for a good chunk of the season, their pitching has really eroded. They’ve allowed 63 runs in the last 6 games! Red Sox 3B Rafael Devers did his part Tuesday with a 3-for-5 night with a homer and 4 RBIs.

Mariners at Red Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Red Sox 3
Moneyline
Kirby has allowed 1 ER or fewer in 3 straight starts, and Bello has allowed 3+ ER in 4 straight. I really like the MARINERS -125 here for the price. They’ve scored 6+ runs in 5 straight games and have reinforcements in place from the trade deadline.
Run line/Against the spread
I like GEORGE KIRBY OVER 5.5 K’S (-110). He has 6+ K’s in 4 straight starts overall and in his last 3 against the Red Sox.
Over/Under
I know we’ve gone WAY Over in the first 2 games of the series, but we’re going Under Wednesday. It’s slated to be 80 degrees with a fierce 13-mph wind blowing straight in. It’s get-away day, and make sure your destination is to the bank with UNDER 9.5 (-115).
