The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a massive favorite in this game. The Mariners have not been playing great in their recent games but they are playing a lot better than the Nationals have been playing, still winning a lot more games over the last week. The Nationals have been awful this season, trading away their 2 best players at the trade deadline, and they have the worst record in the MLB right now. They have Sanchez starting in this game and he is coming off of a good start but he has been awful in most of his starts this season and he has done nothing but lose games for his team all season. The Mariners made a lot of big moves at the deadline to compete for the playoffs and they are in a wild card spot right now, looking to keep that with wins against a team they should have no problems beating here at home. These are the games the Mariners need to win and this should be a series that they dominate in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game on the runline.

"They're playing well. You get good pitching, you get good defense, the hitting will come and go, and right now we're getting opportunities to score some runs. They're battling and we're actually finishing games. The last couple of days have been really good. We're playing a lot better." - Dave Martinez after his team’s win against the Padres on Friday.

 

 

"Offensively, we talk about ‘when you come back, make the comeback." - Scott Servais after his team’s loss against the A’s on Sunday.
