Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (3-2) and Seattle Mariners (3-2) play the middle contest of a 3-game series Tuesday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 1-0; Seattle scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 2nd Monday, and held on for a 5-4 win in the series opener

The Guardians have lost a pair of 1-run games after opening the season 3-0, while outscoring the opposition 26-7 in those outings. The 1st was an 8-0 win behind RHP Shane Bieber, Tuesday’s probable pitcher. The Over (8) cashed Monday, thanks to a Cleveland run in the top of the 8th inning, and the total has now gone high in 4 of 5 games this season.

The Mariners won for the 1st time this season as an underdog (+100) in Monday’s series opener. It was favored in the 1st 3 games, winning twice, but it failed as a ‘dog in the series finale Sunday against Boston (-105). The Over on Monday ended a 3-0 run to the Under.

Cleveland won 3 of 4 games in Seattle last season, with the Over and Under splitting 2-2. The underdog has cashed in 7 straight meetings in this series.

Bieber (1-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his 2nd start in 2024. He has a 0.83 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9, 16.5 K/9 in 6 IP.

  • 2023 vs. Mariners: No-decision, 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 3 K (87 pitches) in 3-0 loss March 30 in Seattle

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Guardians 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-115) are a solid play in what should be a well-pitched, low-scoring game. We saw it early last season when Bieber and Castillo met each other at T-Mobile Park. Both players came away with no-decisions after spinning 6 scoreless innings piece, as the M’s picked up a 3-0 win with late damage against the Cleveland bullpen. We could see a replay here.

Run line/Against the spread

The Mariners +1.5 (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s never a recommended betting strategy.

AVOID, and play Seattle straight up if you like it.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (+100) is a rather low number, but it’s worth playing lightly, as both teams have their respective aces making their 2nd starts of the new season.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for the Mariners. Oddly enough, the total did go high in Castillo’s 1st start, but the game ended up going high after his exit from the contest.

The Over cashed (barely) in Bieber’s first start, too, although the Cleveland pitching staff posted a goose egg in that opener. The Guardians offense took advantage of a poor A’s pitching staff to get the job done, barely, by a half-run.

Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Guardians (3-1) and Seattle Mariners (2-2) open a 3-game series Monday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Guardians won 4-3 last season

The Guardians opened the season by taking 3 straight in Oakland against the Athletics, including an 8-0 shutout on Opening Day. While the A’s walked it off in the bottom of the 9th on Sunday 4-3 to salvage 1 of the 4 games, Cleveland outscored Oakland 29-11 in the series, cashing the Over 3 times.

The Mariners split a 4-game set with the visiting Boston Red Sox. After falling 6-4 in the opener Thursday, Seattle scored a pair of low-scoring, 1-run wins Friday (1-0) and Saturday (4-3). The Red Sox won 5-1 in the series final on Sunday. The Under has cashed in 3 straight for Seattle.

Cleveland won 3 of 4 games in Seattle last season, with the Over and Under splitting 2-2. The underdog has cashed in 6 straight meetings in this series.

Guardians at Mariners projected starters

RHP Triston McKenzie vs. RHP Emerson Hancock

McKenzie (0-3, 5.06 ERA) made 4 starts in 2023. He posted a 1.56 WHIP, 7.3 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 16 IP.

  • 2023 road splits: 0-1, 0.96 ERA (9 1/3 IP, 1 ER), 4 H, 4 BB, 11 K in 2 starts
  • Last start vs. Mariners: Loss, 6 IP, 3 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 4 K in a 3-1 loss in Seattle on Aug. 25, 2022

Hancock (0-0, 4.50 ERA) made his 1st 3 major league starts in 2023. He posted a 1.33 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 4.5 K/9 in 12 innings.

  • 2023 home splits: ND, 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 6-1 home win vs. San Diego Padres in only career home start Aug. 9, 2023
  • First career appearance vs. Guardians

  • Moneyline (ML): Guardians -115 (bet $115 to win $100) | Mariners -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Guardians -1.5 (+150) | Mariners +1.5 (-185)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, Mariners 3

Moneyline

The GUARDIANS (-115) is worth playing lightly in this series opener in Seattle. McKenzie was banged up last season, missing all but 4 starts due to an elbow injury and a shoulder ailment. All indications are he is back to 100 percent health, and he had a strong Cactus League finale with 7 strikeouts.

The Mariners (-105) counter with Hancock, who had no decisions in his first 3 major league starts.

Run line/Against the spread

The Mariners +1.5 (-185) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s too much risk for not enough reward if you need a little insurance.

AVOID, and play Seattle straight up if you like it.

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (-115) is worth a look in this series opener.

While Cleveland hit the Over in 3 of the first 4 games, it was facing an awful Oakland side. We should see much better pitching from both sides, and lower scores.

Seattle cashed the Under in each of the final 3 games of the Boston series, and the offense is averaging just 2.5 runs per game through 4 outings, while allowing just 2.7 RPG in the past 3 contests.

The Cleveland Guardians (2-1) visit the Seattle Mariners (1-2) for the finale of a season-opening 4-game series Sunday at T-Mobile Park, starting at 4:10 p.m. ET.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Mariners projected starters

RHP Cal Quantrill vs. LHP Marco Gonzales

Quantrill went 15-5 with a 3.38 ERA a year ago. He posted a 1.21 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 in 186 1/3 IP across 32 starts.

  • Did well to avoid hard contact but also benefited from a lower-than-average 9.6% HR/FB rate.
  • Has a history of fast starts, allowing a .628 OPS over 12 previous April games.

Gonzales threw 183 innings in 32 starts last season. He went 10-15 with a 3.13 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 5.1 K/9.

Prediction

Mariners 4, Guardians 3

Moneyline

This one is a pick ’em, but the only lean here is toward more offense.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID.

More juice here than on the ML play. Look to the Over for the best leverage in Sunday’s series finale.

Over/Under

This one has a fairly strong fade lean against both starters and what is likely a careful day for the Cleveland bullpen. Both starters had surface numbers propped up by some favorable numbers around the edges last season and neither had a strong exhibition season.

This series has had a couple of pitchers’ duels and one slugfest (sort of) so far. Look for the batting to prevail and balance things out with a higher-scoring game Sunday.

TAKE THE OVER 8 (-110).

Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Guardians (1-1) and the Seattle Mariners (1-1) play the 3rd contest in a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch at T-Mobile Park is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Guardians vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Series tied 1-1. Mariners won the season series 6-1 in 2022.

The Guardians were blanked 3-0 in the opener Thursday as they cobbled together just 4 hits in the lower-scoring affair. However, Cleveland posted 9 runs on 13 hits as it broke out the lumber Friday, including a 2-for-4 night with a double and 5 RBIs from OF Steven Kwan.

The Mariners had a clean game defensively on Thursday but they committed 3 errors in Friday’s setback. Seattle also struck out 13 times in Friday’s loss, including 3 apiece by OFs Teoscar Hernandez and Jarred Kelenic.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Guardians at Mariners projected starters

RHP Aaron Civale vs. RHP Logan Gilbert

Civale went 5-6 with a 4.92 ERA in 2022. He had a 1.19 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 97 IP across 20 starts.

  • Struggled on the road last season, going 1-3 with a 5.88 ERA with 6 HR allowed in 52 IP across 11 starts
  • Allowed 4 ER, 4 H, 2 HR and 2 BB in just 6 1/3 IP in a 4-0 loss at Seattle on Aug. 28 last season

Gilbert was 13-6 with a 3.20 ERA last season. He finished with a 1.18 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 185 2/3 IP across 32 starts.

  • Managed a 5-5 record, 3.25 ERA and 76 K across 83 IP with a .254 opponent batting average (OBA) in 14 home starts in 2022

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Guardians 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-140) are a strong play at home, looking to bounce back from a loss in Friday’s game.

Civale struggled on the road in 2022, and he served up a couple of homers in his only start in Seattle last season.

Run line/Against the spread

The MARINERS -1.5 (+150) are worth a look on the run line at plus money.

Not only did Seattle win 6 of 7 games against Cleveland last season, but it also won 5 of the 6 outings by 2 or more runs. So if you like the M’s to win, you should like them on the run line, too.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 (+100) is the lean. Cleveland found its bats after getting blanked in the opener.

The Guardians cashed the Over in Civale’s final 4 outings of the season, while the Over is 5-2 in their past 7 games against AL West teams.

The Over is 6-1-1 in the past 8 games for the Mariners against AL Central teams, too, while going 5-2-1 in the past 8 home games dating back to last season.

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Guardians 3

Moneyline

Figure Cleveland as turned to its lesser side against a lefty hurler. And that hurler is coming off an impressive Cactus League campaign and has thrived in home games in multiple parks over his career.

Both bullpens were impacted about the same by Thursday’s pitchers’ duel.

TAKE SEATTLE (-160).

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID.

These 2 clubs have played some low-scoring games in recent meetings. Getting the Mariners by with a 2-run margin becomes a tad too risky.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The pitching here, including the gray area on Gaddis, makes for a lack of information. There is some slight Over tilt, but it’d take a better price to generate a swing at that pitch.

PASS.

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Guardians 3

Moneyline

Just a slight lean toward Seattle here since the Mariners are at home and it’s Opening Day, although the plus-money action on the Guardians is enticing. Best to just PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

That price on the Mariners is steep due to a lot of juice. Look to the total for the best leverage in this game. PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

With some slight fade of both starters, the Over is something to consider here. Castillo has subpar numbers against Cleveland batters and has filed a couple major Opening Day clunkers in his career. Bieber’s stuff and velocity have been on the decline, though his numbers last season were buoyed by the Guardians’ excellent defense.

Mix in a couple bullpens that last year got big lifts from their batting-average-on-balls-in-play figures.

BACK THE OVER 6.5 (-110).

Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Cleveland Guardians (67-58) rumble with the Seattle Mariners (69-58) Sunday in the finale of a 4-game set at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-1

The Guardians scored 3 in the 8th inning to steal a 4-3 victory Saturday. All-Star 3B Jose Ramirez had a homer, a double and 2 RBIs to lead the charge. Cleveland remains 3 games up on the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central and is 19-11 over the last 30 games.

Seattle has been inconsistent. The Mariners took 2 games from the first-place Guardians in this series but lost 1 of 2 and 2 of 3 against the last-placed Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics, respectively, in the two previous series. They’ll need to tighten things up to hold on to that final AL Wild Card spot, which they lead the Baltimore Orioles by 1 1/2 games for.

Money line

The Mariners are a little expensive on the ML for such evenly matched teams. Ray certainly gives the M’s an edge, but Civale’s numbers have been sneaky good, and he was great in a start against them last year.

I’m rocking with the Mariners, but let’s take a little less juice and go with MARINERS FIRST 9 INNINGS (-130) and hope we don’t need extras.

Run line/Against the spread

I like Cleveland’s side a lot, and so do the books. I think it will take 4 runs to win this game, and if you’re down with Seattle winning, let’s go with MARINERS OVER 3.5 TOTAL RUNS (-130).

Over/Under

It’s a somewhat-chilly 68 degrees in Seattle with a 7-mph wind blowing out to right-center field. However, I don’t see the ball flying too well today because of that temperature.

All 3 games in the series have had 7 runs or fewer, and I look for a well-pitched game from both sides. The Under is 21-10-1 in the last 32 meetings between these two sides in Seattle. Let’s go UNDER 7.5 (-125).

Guardians at Mariners projected starters

RHP Shane Bieber vs. RHP Logan Gilbert

Bieber (8-7, 3.10 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 145 IP.

  • Owns a 1.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP over his last 5 starts; has walked just 1.6 batters per 9 over that stretch

Gilbert (10-5, 3.52 ERA) has authored a 1.24 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 through 143 1/3 IP in 25 starts.

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, Mariners 2

Money line

Bieber on a roll has the Guardians being a value here. And Cleveland’s bullpen is in much better shape heading into this game.

TAKE CLEVELAND (-115).  Go in with a full unit at -120 or better.

Run line/Against the spread

The extra juice here washes out any leverage: PASS.

Over/Under

These are similar clubs on similar runs with really strong pitching. TAKE THE UNDER 7.5 (-102). This price leaping to -120 would not be a surprise.

Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Cleveland Guardians at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Cleveland Guardians (66-56) and Seattle Mariners (67-57) open a 4-game series at T-Mobile Park. Thursday’s afternoon opener is slated for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Guardians vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: first meeting. Seattle took 4-of-7 games from Cleveland in 2021.

The Guardians arrive in Seattle off a pair of wins in as many tries at San Diego. Cleveland pitching held the Padres to just 1 run in that series, and the Guardians have logged a 2.00 ERA, 0.92 WHIP since Aug. 6.

The Mariners went 11-5 over a 16-game stretch from Aug. 2-19. But Seattle is just 1-3 – with a flimsy .670 OPS – in 4 games since. The Mariners have, however, pitched their way to a 17-8 mark over their last 25 games at home. Over that span, Seattle has registered a 3.40 ERA.

Guardians at Mariners projected starters

RHP Triston McKenzie vs. LHP Marco Gonzales

McKenzie (9-9, 3.11 ERA) has logged a 0.96 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 through 141 2/3 IP across 23 games (22 starts).

  • Has faced the Mariners just twice: allowed a combined 6 runs in 5 IP in 2 starts last season
  • Owns a 2.42 ERA over his last 7 starts
  • Had a career-high 14 K’s against the White Sox in his last outing

Gonzales (8-12, 4.08 ERA) is making his 25th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 5.0 K/9 through 134 2/3 IP.

  • Has yielded 56 hits over his last 40 1/3 IP, and that has fed into a bloated 6.02 ERA over that spell
  • Owns a 3.63 ERA at home
  • Owns a BABIP-muddled 5.34 ERA over the last month: has allowed a .340 BABIP over that stretch

Guardians at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 5, Mariners 4

Money line

PASS: look for some against-the-current value on the Mariners Run Line.

Run line/Against the spread

McKenzie — good as he has been — is making a start off back-to-back triple-digit pitch counts (101 in each of his last 2 starts) for the first time in his career. He does so on an extra day of rest (5 days in this case), but he has performed better on 4-day rest this season and over his 3-year career.

The Under 7.5 has been hit with some early money. Cleveland struggles mightily against southpaws (.643 OPS), and SEATTLE +1.5 (-170) is worth a partial-unit play. Go more in on a -165 tag and all the way in at -160.

Over/Under

The prices here are close to equilibrium, and there aren’t enough Over mechanics at play to make for any sort of value. In other words, a slight Over lean gets rewarded on 7.5 (+110) or something. But that’s not where this one sits.

STEER CLEAR.
