The Mariners were on a 2 game losing streak but now enter this game off of a win. They lost their last series against the Oakland Athletics 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 67-56 record overall and have a home record of 32-26. This is the 1st game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Thursday with the 2nd game of their series against the Washington Nationals still to be played on Wednesday. Their offense ranks 15th in the MLB with a .700 OPS. Rookie pitcher George Kirby is their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Marco Gonzales is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 8-12 with a 4.08 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 1 K on 6 hits through 5.1 IP against the Oakland Athletics.

The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as a favorite in this game. The Guardians have been playing very well over the last few weeks. They have been winning a lot of their games recently and shooting up the standings as they have passed the Twins for the division lead and are now 1st place in the AL Central. They have a lot of motivation to continue winning and go on a big streak now as they have their division lead to protect, only being a few games ahead of the Twins and the White Sox. The Mariners have not been playing very well in their games recently though, they just lost their last series to a bad A's team and they even struggled to beat the Nationals in their last game. The Guardians also have a much better pitching matchup here as McKenzie has been a solid starter for them all season, not giving up many runs in his starts, while Gonzales has been consistently allowing runs in his starts. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.
