The San Francisco Giants (1-1) and Seattle Mariners (1-1) continue their lid-lifting series with a Saturday 9:10 p.m. ET game at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Logan Webb gets the nod for the visiting Giants. He was 3-4 with a 5.47 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 54 1/3 IP over 13 appearances, including 11 starts. The young hurler faltered down the stretch after posting a 3.29 ERA through his first 27 1/3 innings.

RHP Chris Flexen is the projected starting pitcher for the Mariners. Last season with the New York Mets, he went 0-3 with a 6.59 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 and 8.6 BB/9 in 13 2/3 IP over nine games, which included just one start. In his three-year career – all with the Mets – Flexen started 11 games and came out of the bullpen 16 times.

Giants at Mariners odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 12:20 p.m. ET.

• Money line: Giants -120 (bet $120 to win $100) | Mariners +100 (bet $100 to win $100)
• Against the spread/ATS: Giants -1.5 (+135) | Mariners +1.5 (-160)
• Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Giants 4, Mariners 3

Money line (ML)

San Francisco bounced back from an Opening Day, extra-inning setback to defeat the Mariners 6-3 Friday. Look for the Giants to make it two in a row Saturday.

Webb had a solid spring in Arizona (0.53 ERA in 17 IP), and he’s up against a Seattle nine which was woeful in its home yard a year ago (.655 OPS, 30th MLB).

The Giant’s season O/U is 74.5. They’re a club that registered a robust .834 OPS in going 21-15 over their last 36 games in 2020. If they can make enough hay when they aren’t playing the division rival and NL favorites Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, the Giants can clear that O/U with relative ease.

Back the GIANTS -120.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. This play adds juice, and with a likable Under, the extra-run cushion isn’t palatable.

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams finishing in the bottom-third in offense this season is a solid possibility. Neither pen has been overwrought through two games, and T-Mobile is certainly a pitcher’s yard.

Take the UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The San Francisco Giants and Seattle Mariners open their respective 2021 MLB seasons in a Thursday night game at 10:10 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Kevin Gausman is the projected starting pitcher for the Giants. A year ago, the veteran right-hander went 3-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 11.92 K/9 and 2.41 BB/9 over 59 2/3 IP spanning 12 appearances. Albeit in a shortened season, Gausman enjoyed a skills-breakout year in many respects.  He does, however, have a history of being a slow starter out of the gate with a .801 OPS allowed with lesser command in the first half.

LHP Marco Gonzales is the projected starter for the Mariners. His 2020 line included a 7-2 record with a 3.10 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 8.27 K/9 and 0.90 BB/9 over 69 2/3 IP in 11 starts. The 29-year-old southpaw owns a career 3.69 ERA at Seattle’s home park.

Giants at Mariners odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:20 a.m. ET.

• Money line: Giants -105 (bet $105 to win $100) | Mariners -105 (bet $105 to win $100)
• Against the spread/ATS: Giants -1.5 (+145) |  Mariners +1.5 (-175)
• Over/Under: 8 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Giants 5, Mariners 4

Money line (ML)

Gonzales was buoyed by a .263 opponent batting average on balls in play last season. Look for regression in those numbers in 2021. The Giants figure to be at their best against lefty pitching.

Peg the visitors as worthy of being about a 10-to-15-cent favorite. There is value in SAN FRANCISCO (-105).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS.

The Giants are a solid play as a side and the run line here has added juice.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Giants have more of an offensive attack than one might think. Their .785 OPS ranked sixth in the league last summer.

In terms of expected fielding-independent ERA (xFIP), both clubs ranked in MLB’s bottom-5 a year ago. Peg Gonzales as being severely overrated by his 2020 surface ERA.

It all adds up to value on the OVER 8 (-115).
