Guardians vs Mariners Prediction & Pick
The Guardians are rolling with Aaron Civale as tonight's start ing pitcher. After an impressive 2021 campaign, the 27-year-old was anything but that last year. Civale went 5-6 in 20 starts for Cleveland, finishing with a 1.186 WHIP and a career-worst 4.92 ERA.
Meanwhile, the Mariners turn to Logan Gilbert to get the job done. The right-handed hurler is coming off a breakout season that saw him go 13-6 with a 3.20 ERA and 1.180 WHIP over 32 starts, leaving Seattle fans wondering if Gilbert has more of the same in store for 2023.
After getting beat up yesterday, I see the Mariners getting some revenge tonight. The good news for them is that Civale has pitched terribly in two previous trips to T-Mobile Park, going 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA over 13 innings. With names like Ty France, Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suarez, Seattle has more tha n enough talent to take advantage of the situation.
Back the Mariners in what should be another high-scoring affair.
Final Score Prediction:'Mariners: 5 | Guardians: 4
Guardians vs Mariners Best Bet
When it comes to the best bet, I recommend backing the over on the seven-run total. The over is both 4-1 in the Mariners' last five games against AL Central foes while being 6-3 in the Guardians' last nine against the AL West.
After the Guardians' batters put on a show, look for the Mariners to be productive against Civale, playing a big role in the over being hit tonight.
