The Mariners won 2 of their last 3 games and enter this game off of a win. They split their last series against the Washington Nationals 1-1 in a 2-game series. They enter this game with a 68-57 record overall and have a home record of 33-27. This is the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Saturday with the 2nd game still to be played on Friday. Their offense ranks 18th in the MLB with a .698 OPS. Logan Gilbert is their starting pitcher on Friday while Luis Castillo is making his start in this game on Saturday. He is 5-5 with a 2.93 ERA this season. His team won 8 of their last 9 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 8 hits through 5 IP against the Oakland Athletics.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game. The Mariners have not been playing well lately but they did take the 1st game of this series and they will be looking to bounce back strong with a series win at home here. They are not directly fighting with the Guardians for a wild card spot right now but, the Guardians are in their own tight division race and if they were to lose their 1st place spot than they would be fighting with the Mariners for the wild card so this is a very important game for both. The Mariners have a much better pitching matchup though as they have Castillo starting here and he has been great all season, even when he was pitching for the Reds earlier this year. Plesac is starting for the Guardians and he has not been great as he allows a lot of runs in his starts, and he is coming off of another bad start where he allowed 4 runs. The Mariners have not won a series in their last 2 and they do have the better pitching here at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
