The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a pick 'em in this game. The Mariners have not been playing well in their recent games but they will be hungry to bounce back here at home and they have a good pitching matchup here to do so. The Guardians have been playing very well recently as they have been winning a lot of their games and they have a solid starter in Bieber here on the mound. Bieber has not been great in a lot of his recent starts though, allowing quite a few runs in his starts and the Mariners have had a very good offense at home here. They will score runs on him here while the Mariners shut the Guardians down with Gilbert pitching who has been very good all season and pitches even better at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

"I wanted that game to be clean. I didn't want to trail off. Finishing an inning is important as a starter. Giving Shaw, in this instance, the best chance to succeed, and that's not with the bases loaded and two out, that's with a fresh inning. That's important." - Cal Quantrill after their win against the Padres on Wednesday.

 

 

"A really well-pitched ballgame by Robbie Ray. I think you have to start there and that was the key to tonight's game, no question about it." - Scott Servais after his team’s win against the Nationals on Tuesday.
