The Mariners are entering this game off a win in their last game. They enter this game with a 1-0 record overall and have a home record of 1-0. This is the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Saturday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Friday. Their offense ranks 15th in the MLB with a .681 OPS.

His team won their last 3 straight games last season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 4 strikeouts on 3 hits through 8 innings played against the Oakland Athletics.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners took the season opener against the Guardians with a late 3-0 win in what was a pitching duel all night. Ultimately, their bullpen let the Guardians down in this game but their inability to get on base was also a big issue. The Mariners look to be picking up where they left off last season as they were improving a lot and they should be a much bigger threat in the AL this season. They also have Gilbert on the mound here who was pretty much their ace last year while Civale was not that great for the Guardians, giving up a ton of runs in his starts. The Mariners have a tough division to compete in this year so they will take advantage of these games at home that they can win as they do have the better pitching and a much stronger offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
