Mariners vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners haven't been having a great season as they are in 4th place of their division with a record right at .500 and they also have one of the worst offenses in the league too. They have been playing a lot better lately though as they are starting to win more games and their offense is waking up too with 2 games in a row where they put up 10+ runs. They are starting to get really hot while the Orioles jumped out to a really good start this season but have been really mediocre in their games lately as they have been up and down. They do have a really good offense that can put up a lot of runs but they haven't been doing so lately and their pitching has been terrible all season too. The Mariners may have struggled on offense all season but they are getting hot now and it will be really tough for the Orioles to stop them here when they have been pitching so badly all season. The Mariners are starting to get hot on offense and that could lead to a big run for this team as they try to climb the standings now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
