Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Rangers 2
Money line
RISK 1 UNIT on the MARINERS (-160) instead of betting to win 1 unit because of the price.
The Mariners have been steamed from a -145 opener up to the current number according to Pregame.com. Also, Seattle has a 3-phase edge over the Rangers (+130) in starting and relief pitching and hitting.
Furthermore, the Mariners are 15-7 SU as home favorites vs. righty starters with a plus-13.8% return on investment (ROI) and an average final score of 4.25-3.27. The Rangers are 12-20 SU on the road vs. righty starters with a minus-20.5% ROI.
If your standard unit is $100 then “FLAT-BET” that on the MARINERS (-160) to earn a $62.50 profit instead of betting $160 to win $100.

Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The Mariners -1.5 (+130) isn’t a big enough payout considering they are just 9-13 RL as home favorites vs. righty starters while the Rangers +1.5 (-160) are 18-14 RL on the road against right-handed starters.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-122).
T-Mobile Park is a historically pitcher-friendly venue, the Mariners are 20-27-1 O/U at home and the Rangers are 13-18-2 O/U as road underdogs.
Also, more than 90% of the money is on the Over 8.5 (+100) according to Pregame.com but the total hasn’t budged off the opener, in fact, the UNDER 8.5 (-122) is more expensive.
