Mariners at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Mariners 2

Moneyline

BET CARDINALS (+105).

St. Louis is the hotter team, being 7-3 in its last 10 overall and 3-1 in its last 4 at home, while the Mariners are only 3-5 in their last 8 overall. The Cardinals have also won 2 of their last 3 meetings vs. Seattle.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

The Cardinals should cover here as +1.5 (-165) underdogs, but their odds are  better on the moneyline.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Under has hit in 3 of St. Louis’ last 4 home games. The Under is also 4-2-1 in the last 7 Mariners-Cardinals meetings.

This is a lean as the Over is 5-4-1 in St. Louis’ last 10 games. The O/U is 4-4-2 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.

Seattle Mariners at St. Louis Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Seattle Mariners at St. Louis Cardinals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (71-70) and St. Louis Cardinals (71-69) open up a 3-game series Friday at Busch Stadium at 8:15 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Cardinals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Mariners won 2-1 last year

The M’s won the final 2 games to split the 4-game series at the Oakland A’s. That snapped a 4-game losing streak. The Mariners won 6-4 Thursday as OF Julio Rodriguez hit his 14th homer of the season. He has failed to mash all year, but he has parked 3 balls since Aug. 28. They remain 4½ out in the AL West.

The Cards had Thursday off after taking 2 of 3 from the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers. It took 5 months to happen, but 1B Paul Goldschmidt is finally looking like a pigment of his former self. He’s hitting .438 with 2 homers, 8 doubles and 9 RBIs over the last 15 days for a 1.200 OPS. Despite winning 6 of their last 8, the Cards haven’t gained much ground and remain 5 games out of a Wild Card berth.

Mariners at Cardinals projected starters

RHP Bryce Miller vs. RHP Erick Fedde

Miller (10-8, 3.30 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.5 K/9 in 155 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 3-2 setback Sunday at Los Angeles Angels
  • Has never faced Cardinals
  • Road/Home splits: 4-5, 4.82 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 6.5 K/9 in 13 road GS; 6-3, 2.03 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 in 14 home GS

Fedde (8-8, 3.43 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 154 2/3 IP with the Chicago White Sox and Cardinals.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 6-3 defeat Aug. 30 at New York Yankees
  • Two GS vs. Mariners this year: 0-1, 11 IP, 4 ER (3.27 ERA), 11 H, 3 BB, 8 K

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 3, Mariners 2

Moneyline

Fedde hasn’t been very good with the Cards, but he has been good at home. In 2 GS, he has allowed 3 ER in 10 2/3 IP (2.53 ERA) at Busch. The Cards’ pen is rested after the off-day, and I expect this to be a tight one. The Cards are 26-18 in 1-run games, and the M’s are 23-24. Take the CARDINALS -110.

Run line/Against the spread

This one is a no-brainer here. Goldy has hit safely in 11 straight games and at one point had an 8-game double streak. Take PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT OVER 0.5 TOTAL BASES (-165).

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 75 degrees with a 14-mph wind blowing in from left-center. The Cards are tied for 18th at 4.2 R/game, and the M’s are just behind tied for 25th at 4.1. So we have 2 weak offenses with a severe breeze blowing in.

Take the UNDER 7.5 (-120).
