BETTING TRENDS

Cleveland are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland's last 6 games when playing on the road against Seattle.

The total has gone OVER in 13 of Seattle's last 19 games against Cleveland.

Seattle Mariners are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games at home.

Prediction

The Mariners have struggled lately losing against 2 of the worst teams in the league like the Nationals and the A's but have been good at home this season. For this game they'll send Marco Gonzales to the mound who has struggled lately but has good numbers against Cleveland in his career. The Guardians will try to stay hot as they have won 8 of their last 9 games on the road and will send Triston McKenzie to start this game who has been solid lately but has struggled against the Mariners. The Guardians get here in a better form and are playing great on the road. Take the Guardians.

PICK: Guardians ML (-120)
