[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Astros 3

Moneyline

BET MARINERS (-135).

The Mariners have 2 things: The better starting pitching and the motivation to play their best. Houston has clinched the AL West and a playoff spot, and the Mariners are still on the outside looking in, starting the day 2 1/2 games out of the final Wild Card spot.

Seattle has won 4 of Kirby’s last 5 starts as well and has won 4 of its last 6 games. It has scored at least 5 runs in 4 of its last 5 games, so as long as Kirby can keep Houston’s offense as bay, Seattle should be able to come out on top. Back MARINERS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here.

The Mariners are too risky as a run-line favorite and aren’t worth a play while the Astros are too expensive as a run-line underdog considering they’ve already clinched a playoff spot.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7 (-105).

Both offenses have been hot over the last week. The Mariners are 3-1-1 O/U in their last 5 games, scoring at least 6 runs in 3 of those games. They have allowed at least 4 runs in 3 of their last 4 games as well.

The Astros are also 3-1-1 O/U in their last 5 and have given up at least 6 runs in 2 of their last 3 games. Considering those trends, back OVER 7 (-105).

Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (81-76) take on the Houston Astros (85-72) Tuesday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Minute Maid Park at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Mariners vs. Astros odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 7-4

The Mariners are playing with desperation, as they’re 4 games out in the AL West and 1½ games out of a Wild Card spot. They’ve won 4 of 5 after a 6-1 victory against the ‘Stros Monday. RHP Bryce Miller allowed 2 hits and struck out 5 over 7 shutout frames. OF Julio Rodriguez had 3 hits and 2 RBIs. J-Rod is 12-for-21 (.571) with 3 homers and 11 RBIs over his last 5 games.

The Astros’ magic number is 2. That means if they win Tuesday or Wednesday, they clinch the AL West. They’ve dropped 2 straight now, and they’ve given up 15 runs in the process. They’ve allowed 4+ runs in 4 straight games. That’s just something to keep an eye on down the stretch. OF Kyle Tucker is hitting .356 with 3 homers and 6 RBIs over the last 15 days.

Mariners at Astros projected starters

RHP Logan Gilbert vs. LHP Framber Valdez

Gilbert (8-11, 3.24 ERA) makes his 32nd start. He has an MLB-leading 0.90 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 through 197 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 3-2 home victory Thursday against New York Yankees
  • Last 5 starts vs. Astros: 3-1, 2.45 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 26 K in 33 IP

Valdez (14-7, 2.85 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 170 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 4-0 defeat Wednesday at San Diego Padres
  • Last 5 starts vs. Mariners: 0-3, 6.58 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, 25 K in 26 IP

Mariners at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Astros 3

Moneyline

Valdez’s numbers against Seattle are glaring. The Mariners have had trouble scoring runs for a couple of seasons now, and Valdez has a 6.58 ERA against them over 26 IP.

The MARINERS +120 keep Houston’s champagne on ice one more day.

Run line/Against the spread

Gilbert has been striking out everyone and their mother of late. His last 7 GS K numbers: 9, 7, 10, 9, 10, 7, 6. Take LOGAN GILBERT OVER 5.5 K’S (-125).

Or if you wanna get wicked with it, SGP LOGAN GILBERT OVER 5.5 K’S + OVER 5.5 TOTAL RUNS (+150) and slap that Any Sport No Sweat Token sitting in most BetMGM accounts on it.

Over/Under

The wind is blowing out at 7 mph on an 85-degree evening. Add that with the Astros’ recent problems allowing runs and Valdez’s rough past against Seattle.

I’m taking the OVER 7 (-115).

Seattle is 6-3 over its last 9 game and is 5 games behind Houston for the AL West lead and 2 games out of the final AL Wild Card spot.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Astros 3

Moneyline

BET MARINERS (+125).

The Astros haven’t consistently won with Brown on the mound, going 2-3 in his last 5 starts and 14-16 in games he has pitched. They are 7-7 in his home starts.  At the same time, the Mariners have played very well on the road as of late. They won 2 of 3 at the Rangers and have won 6 of their last 8 road games. The Astros, while they have won 3 of their last 4, have allowed 20 runs in their last 3 games, so their defense has left much to be desired.

At these odds, back MARINERS (+125).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Mariners are too expensive to take as a run-line underdog, and the Astros are too risky to play as a run-line favorite. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

The Astros, while their defense and pitching struggled against the Angels, have still gone 3-4 O/U in their last 7 games. They are 63-87-5 O/U on the season and are 1-2 O/U in Brown’s last 3 starts.

The Mariners are 1-5-2 O/U in Miller’s last 8 starts. He is among their best pitchers. Both teams have a solid starting options which should result in few runs for the 1st several innings. Seattle has allowed 16 total runs in its last 5 games.

Play UNDER 8 (-115).

New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (89-63) and Seattle Mariners (77-75) meet Thursday afternoon to cap off a 3-game series. First pitch from T-Mobile Park will be at 4:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Yankees vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Yankees lead 4-2

New York had struggled over recent road series, but has taken the 1st 2 games (11-2 and 2-1) of this set in Emerald City. Yankee pitching has allowed just 3 runs in this series and has logged a sparkling 2,55 ERA in leading the club to a 6-1 mark over its last 7 games.

Prior to this series, the Mariners had been 12-4 across their previous 16 games at T-Mobile. They have gone a combined 2-for-17 with runners in scoring position over their twin losses in this series.

Yankees at Mariners projected starters

RHP Clarke Schmidt vs. RHP Logan Gilbert

Schmidt (5-3, 2.41 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 in 71 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 5-4 win vs. Boston Red Sox Friday
  • Career vs. Mariners: 0-1, 1.69 ERA (10 2/3 IP, 2 ER), 7 H, 3 BB, 13 K in 2 starts

Gilbert (7-11, 3.24 ERA) is lined up for his 31st start. He has a 0.89 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 in 191 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 5-4 win vs. Texas Rangers Saturday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 1-2, 7.18 ERA (26 1/3 IP, 21 ER), 33 H, 7 BB, 17 K in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Yankees at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Yankees 4

Moneyline

Seattle has won 4 straight series finales. New York is 0-4 in its last 4 getaway road games.

Schmidt was reinstated from the 60-day IL (lat) Sept. 7. He’s allowed 2 ER in 10 1/3 IP over 2 starts since. He went 75 pitches on Sept. 7 and 86 on Sept. 13. Might fatigue pop up in this game? If not, it would seem likely a less-than-stellar Yankee bullpen gets more exposed in this matchup.

On the surface, Gilbert has had a hit-and-miss run– almost on an alternating start basis — after logging a 2.79 ERA in the 1st half. But the Seattle right-hander has been undone by a low strand since the break; his expected-ERA figures are much better than the 4.25 surface figure he’s posted in the 2nd half. The ability to miss bats has been elite. Gilbert owns a 14.8% swing-and-miss rate in the 2nd half and a career-best 14.3% mark for the season.

The Yanks clinched a playoff berth Wednesday night and have a now-comfortable AL East lead with the Baltimore Orioles scuffling of late. This getaway tilt may not have New York’s full attention. And the Yanks had been 4-7 over 11 previous road games since Aug. 17.

Seattle has had a lot of traffic aboard in this series. And fine offensive numbers are not too far back in the rearview mirror. The Mariners filed an .858 OPS from Sept. 8-15.

FanDuel Sportsbook offers better leverage on Seattle in this spot. TAKE THE MARINERS (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

More juice equals less interest. STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

Indicators crisscross and cut both ways here, some toward some leverage on the high side and some on the low.

With New York logging a few double-digit scoring games in its recent T-Mobile past and with the Mariners clocking a fine offensive run until the last couple of nights (when they were slowed by poor clutch hitting) … and with Schmidt being a slight fade candidate in front of a shaky New York bullpen, the OVER 7.5 (+100) has a sliver of a lean.

Yankees at Mariners projected starters

LHP Nestor Cortes vs. RHP Bryce Miller

The Yanks are on a nice roll. They are 14-7 ATS in their last 21 road games.

New York has struggled of late on the road, and Seattle has been a groove on home turf. Enter Woo, who has registered a 1.66 ERA, 0.64 WHIP at T-Mobile this season, and Seattle is in green check-mark territory.

More green check marks are forthcoming.

The Mariners have underplayed their 4.11 runs per game and 3.76 RPG allowed. They should probably have an overall record similar to that of the Yanks, so they figure to be undervalued.

New York tends to be careful with Gil, who is up against some usage limits based on previous season work. That could expose Yankee relievers, and that’s an Achilles heal for the visiting nine.

Woo registered a free-and-easy 6 innings against New York on May 21 (scoreless on 2 hits, 0 BB, 7K). Woo’s indicators have been strong in the 2nd half.

TAKE THE MARINERS (-105).

Run line/Against the spread

The tags here have a higher hold, and the true odds are likely locked up between these prices. PASS.

Over/Under

The last 7 Seattle games have seen the Over go 5-2.

Peg both starters as being good ones with each allowing no runs in 2 starts against their opponent, but with fade-worthy leans. Especially with a low total, their combined yield put this bet in Over territory.

Seattle owns a robust .858 OPS over its last 11 games. A perceived Yankees  slowdown is largely due to coming up empty in too many high-leverage situations.

BACK THE OVER 7 (-105).

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (71-78) and Seattle Mariners (76-73) wrap up a 4-game series Sunday. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Rangers vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 7-2

The Mariners have won 2 of 3 in this series so far, and each game has resulted in a 5-4 final score for the winner. The Over is 3-0 in the series, too.

On Friday night, OF Julio Rodriguez hit a 3-run HR in the 8th inning of a 5-4 Mariners victory, while the M’s saw DH Randy Arozarena drive in a run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th Saturday for the 5-4 win.

The Rangers have dropped 4 of the past 5 games, while the Over has cashed in 4 consecutive outings.

For the Mariners, they’re still alive for a postseason spot, but they will need some help with just 13 regular-season games remaining. Seattle is 7-3 in the past 10 games since Sept. 4 while going Over at a 5-0-1 clip in the past 6 contests.

Rangers at Mariners projected starters

LHP Andrew Heaney vs. RHP George Kirby

Heaney (5-13, 3.84 ERA) makes his 29th start and 30th appearance. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 in 145 1/3 IP.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Rangers 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-160) are a solid play in the series finale against the southpaw Heaney. Seattle has a 21-19 mark against left-handed starting pitchers this season.

While Heaney has been pitching a little better for the Rangers (+135) lately, he is still a dismal 2-7 on the road this season, and 4-9 in his career against the M’s.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, consider MARINERS -1.5 (+145) at plus-money.

There is a little risk with the play, as the 1st 3 games in this series have resulted in 1-run games, with Seattle walking it off the past 2 days. However, we’re betting against the erratic Heaney and backing Kirby, who has been money at home.

Over/Under

The total (7) is expected to come down right on the number. As a result, let’s AVOID and focus just on the moneyline or the run line.

If you absolutely, positively had to bet the total in this game, the lean would be to the Under, ever so slightly.

Rangers at Mariners projected starters

RHP Kumar Rocker vs. RHP Bryce Miller

Rocker makes his 1st MLB start. MLB Pipeline’s No. 95 overall prospect was selected with the 3rd overall pick in the 2022 draft.

  • Is first player of Indian descent to appear in MLB

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Rangers 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no great value on the moneyline here. The Mariners (-135) are too expensive to play, while the Rangers, with a starter making his debut, aren’t a great underdog play either.

Avoid this option.

Run line/Against the spread

BET MARINERS -1.5 (+170).

Seattle has dominated the season series and won 3 of the 6 games by multiple runs. It went 3-0 straight up and 2-1 on the run line in a 3-game home series vs. Texas June 14-16. The Mariners haven’t had a 1-run win since Aug. 25 and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.

The Rangers haven’t had a 1-run los since Aug. 16, either, and have lost 3 of their last 5. Considering those trends and the starting pitching difference, back MARINERS -1.5 (+170).

Over/Under

BET OVER 7 (-120).

The Rangers have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 games and scored a total of 17 runs over their last 4. Texas has given up 28 in those games. It is 7-3 O/U in its last 10.

The Mariners are 4-1-2 O/U in their last 7 games and have scored at least 5 runs in 5 of their last 7. Seattle has scored double figures in 2 of their last 7 as well. Take OVER 7 (-120).

San Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (82-64) and Seattle Mariners (73-72) wrap up a 2-game interleague series Wednesday. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is set for 9:40 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-1

The Padres registered a 7-3 victory against the Mariners in the interleague opener Tuesday behind RHP Yu Darvish as a slight underdog (+112) as the Over (7) connected.

San Diego has picked up 5 wins in the past 8 outings while going 3-1 in the previous 4 games on the road. It is 18-7 across the past 25 contests away from home.

In interleague play, San Diego has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games while going 11-4 in the previous 15 tries against the American League. The Over has hit in 3 straight while going 10-2-1 in the past 13 tries vs. AL teams.

For the Mariners, despite Tuesday’s setback, Seattle has won 4 of the past 6 outings. The Over has hit in the past 2 games while going 8-3-1 across the past 12.

Against the National League, the M’s are just 5-9 in the past 14 tries, although they’re 14-5 in the past 19 home interleague battles.

Padres at Mariners projected starters

RHP Michael King vs. RHP Bryan Woo

King (12-8, 3.10 ERA) makes his 28th start and 29th appearance. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 in 156 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H (1 solo HR), 1 BB, 8 K in 5-1 home victory vs. San Francisco Giants Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 8-3, 2.86 ERA, 85 IP, 27 ER, 9 HR, 1.18 WHIP, .222 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 30 BB, 83 K in 14 starts (15 appearances)
  • Career vs. Mariners: 0-1, 2.08 ERA, 8 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 0 HR, 1.04 WHIP, 13.5 K/9 in 3 appearances (1 start)

Woo (7-2, 2.36 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 0.85 WHIP, 0.8 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 99 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 16-3 road victory vs. Oakland A’s Aug. 4

Padres at Mariners odds

  • Moneyline (ML): Padres -108 (bet $108 to win $100) | Mariners -108 (bet $108 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Padres -1.5 (+168) | Mariners +1.5 (-205)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 6.5 (O: -122 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, Padres 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-108) are worth a look in the series finale behind Woo. The Seattle right-handed starter has been nearly untouchable at T-Mobile Park, posting an amazing 4-0 record with a 1.50 ERA in 42 IP across 7 starts.

While Woo’s numbers make the M’s look like a slam-dunk play, King has been solid for the Padres (-108), too, and the odds indicate that this is truly a coin flip. But, based on Woo’s slightly better splits at home than King’s numbers on the road, you have to side with Seattle.

Run line/Against the spread

Mariners +1.5 (-205) is just too expensive on the run line, if you require insurance and perhaps are a little spooked by their loss in Tuesday’s interleague series opener.

However, you can’t risk more than 2 times your potential return. If you like Seattle, just bet it straight up.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (+100) is worth a roll of the nice at even-money, as we should have a pitchers’ duel in SoDo.

King has tremendous splits on the road, posting 8 victories and a 2.83 ERA, while Woo has a 4-0 mark with a 1.50 ERA at home this season. Neither of these guys are going to concede much. Go low, and feel confidently in doing so.

San Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

The Padres dropped 2 of 3 games over the weekend against the San Francisco Giants, and they’ve lost 3 of the past 4 outings. The Over has cashed in the past 2 games, with San Diego allowing 6.5 runs per game (RPG).

San Diego has a losing record in the past 11 games, going 5-6 since Aug. 28, while the Over-Under has split 5-5-1 during the span.

For the Mariners, they’ve started to piece things together a little bit, winning 4 of the past 5 outings, scoring 6 or more runs in each of the victory. The Over is 3-1-1 during the 5-game span.

These teams met in a 2-game set at Petco Park July 9-10, with the Mariners sweeping the series by a combined score of 10-3, with the Over-Under going 1-1.

Padres at Mariners projected starters

RHP Yu Darvish vs. RHP George Kirby

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, Padres 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-102) are a solid play at home as the slight underdogs, as Kirby has been electric at T-Mobile Park.

In addition, Darvish is making just his 2nd start since returning from the restricted list. He was pretty shaky last time out against Detroit, and he shouldn’t be trusted until he snaps back into a groove.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more conservative, and like the Mariners +1.5 (-192) a little, but feel the need for insurance, taking Seattle on the run line is just a bit too expensive. Seattle will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return.

The M’s have been playing better baseball recently, as they make a push for a postseason spot. They’re a solid play behind Kirby, so if you like the Mariners, just go straight up for the better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 7 (-115) is a bit of a low number, but a solid play in this matchup.

While Seattle has been getting it done with offense lately, scoring 6 or more runs in 4 of the past 5 games, it will use pitching here. Kirby has been great at home, while Darvish has been solid this season on the road.

Expect plenty of donuts, especially in the first few innings. In fact, UNDER 3.5 (-102) – FIRST 5 INNINGS TOTAL is worth a roll of the dice, too.
