He has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 3.75 and 28 strikeouts in 4 appearances versus the Mariners in his career.

Gilbert pitched five innings against the Athletics, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out four and no walks. He has a 1-1 record with an ERA of 4.22 and 11 strikeouts in 2 appearances against the Cleveland Indians in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
Cleveland are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Cleveland's last 7 games when playing on the road against Seattle.
The total has gone OVER in 13 of Seattle's last 20 games against Cleveland.
Seattle Mariners are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games at home.
Prediction
The Guardians couldn't do much against a strong performance from Marco Gonzales who held them to only 1 run. For this game they'll send Shane Bieber to the mound who has been solid lately allowing 2 or less runs in each of his last 5 starts. The Mariners will send Logan Gilbert to start this game who has struggled in his last 4 starts and the Mariners have lost in 3 of them. This should be another close game but with Gilbert struggling lately I think the Guardians will get him early in the game. Take the Guardians.
