Astros vs Mariners Prediction

The teams have traded victories in the past couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters. Seattle won two of three games played this season, while two of those three produced below eight runs, which is what I expect to occur here as well. George Kirby posted a 1.50 ERA in four starts (24.0 innings) against the Astros last year, and although he could be a bit rusty in his first start of the season, I am backing him to pitch well. Lance McCullers, on the other hand, is slowly returning to his best form, and he should have a solid outing. Seven of Seattle’s last ten games went Under, which was the case in seven of Houston’s previous ten games. Go with Under.

White Sox vs Mariners Prediction

The Mariners won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. Seven of Seattle’s last ten games went Under, which was also the case in seven of Chicago’s previous ten games. I am going with another low-scoring affair here because of the starting pitchers’ matchup. Shane Smith is the White Sox’s best starter this year, and even though he’s a rookie, he has allowed more than two runs just once so far. Smith also has three shutout starts under his belt and three quality starts. Logan Evans, on the other hand, is another rookie who has impressed thus far in the season. Evans shut the Padres out in his recent start, and I am backing him to have another strong outing here. Go with Under.

White Sox vs Mariners Prediction

The Mariners are playing their best ball of the season as they’re 13-7 since April 26, and they’ve allowed one run in each of their last four games. I don’t know who the Mariners are throwing out on the mound, but it doesn’t matter. As I’ve said countless times, the White Sox have been the worst team in baseball over the last three years, and there’s zero betting value with this team. A $100 bettor is down more than $1,100 this season backing the White Sox. You make a profit blindly fading the White Sox. So, no starting pitcher or not, I’m siding with the Mariners.

White Sox vs Mariners Prediction

When the White Sox had won three games in a row, I told you guys to stay the course and keep betting against them. The White Sox have been the worst team in baseball over the last three years, and they’re dreadful for bettors already this season. Since those three wins, the White Sox have lost four straight games and have been outscored 9-33 in those games. Blindly fading the White Sox has been profitable for three years running. It also doesn’t hurt that the Mariners are coming off a nice week, and they’re throwing out an all-star pitcher in Castillo. Give me the Mariners and the RL for max betting value.

Mariners vs Padres Prediction

The Mariners are 9-2 in their last 11 meetings against the Padres, and have won their last four visits in San Diego in a dominant fashion, with a combined 19-5 score. They are up 2-0 in this series, having outscored the Padres by 9-2 runs. Under is 7-3-2 in their last 12 meetings.

In this Mariners vs Padres Prediction, the Padres are coming as -140 home favorites. The Padres are favored because they still have a better record this season, and they have the second-best home record in the National League. But the Mariners have been dominating them in this series, and are putting their best pitcher on the mound. Both teams score exactly 5.1 runs against righties, so this line feels a bit inflated towards the Padres.

With both pitchers being terrific this season, I will not pick a side and instead look for another low-scoring game. Both pitchers have a combined 5.16 ERA and have a WHIP below 1.00, and their deeper analytics do not show a negative regression coming. Both teams are a perfect 7-0 to the under in their last 7 games combined, and the two games of this series had a 5.5 average total runs. Take the under 7.5 in this one.

San Diego Padres Betting Preview

The San Diego Padres (27-16, 16-6 Home) beat the Rockies and Angels in response to a series loss to the New York Yankees.

Padres vs Mariners Prediction

The Mariners won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including six of the last seven. However, I am going with the Padres in this one because of the starting matchup. Both Nick Pivetta and Emerson Hancock struggled in their respective latest starts, but it’s clear who’s the better pitcher here, and I believe Pivetta will bounce back with a commanding display on Saturday. He already has three shutouts this season, while Hancock surrendered 12 runs in his last three starts. Back San Diego to win and cover the run line.

Mariners vs Padres Prediction

In their four meetings last season, the Mariners led the Padres 3-1 wins, winning both games in San Diego with a combined 10-3 score. The Mariners are 7-2 in their last 9 overall meetings against the Padres, and under is 5-3-2 in their last 10 meetings.

In this Mariners vs Padres Prediction, the Padres are coming as -150 home favorites. The Padres are rightfully favored, as they have a better record this season, and they have the second-best home record in the National League. On the other hand, the Mariners are mediocre on the road and are coming into this matchup in poor form. Stephen Kolek has been unhittable in his two starts this season, and with San Diego’s 7th-best bullpen to back him up, I expect the Padres to get the job done at home. Take the San Diego Padres on the moneyline in this one.

Yankees vs Mariners Prediction

The Yankees are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Mariners, and under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings. In this Yankees vs Mariners Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -120 road favorites. Both teams have identical records this season, but the Yankees have been mediocre on the road, and Warren is not a pitcher I’m rushing to back.

Both pitchers have been shaky to start the season, as they have an 8.70 combined ERA, and their analytics show no sign of positive regression. The Yankees have scored 7+ runs in four straight games prior to yesterday’s low-scoring one, and the Mariners have conceded 5+ runs in their last five games prior to yesterday. Both teams are 11-3 to the over in their last 14 games combined. This is the perfect spot for a high-scoring game, so take the over 8 runs.

For the first time this year, Seattle suffered four consecutive losses after falling 11-5 to the Yankees in Game 1 of the current series.

Mariners vs Yankees Prediction

The Yankees won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including five of the last six. I am backing the Yankees to get another win on Tuesday because I am not sure whether the Mariners can stop red-hot Max Fried. Currently, the best pitcher in the MLB, Fried allowed just one run in his last four starts and recorded shutouts in three of those. He allowed a 0.95 BA in 42 at-bats against the Mariners. Bryan Woo, on the other hand, allowed multiple runs in three of his previous four starts, and I am backing the Yankees to score 3+ off him in the opening five innings here. Go with the Yankees.

In this Yankees vs Mariners Prediction, the Yankees are coming as -135 road favorites. Both teams have almost identical records this season, and similar home/away records as well. There is no clear advantage in the bullpen as well, as both teams have 3.54 and 3.63 bullpen ERA’s, and with both pitchers being shaky at best, I see no value on either side. Both pitchers have a combined 10.49 combined ERA, and are averaging 11.3 runs per game combined against the opposing starter throw hand. Both teams are also 12-3 to the over combined in their recent games, so I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 8.5 runs in this one.

Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction

I’m on the Mariners in this one. I get the case to be made for the Blue Jays here as Toronto has been the better team in this series by a decent margin. However, in no alternate universe do I think that Jose Urena is a viable option in a starting rotation at the major league level. Miller has had his own issues in fairness, but I think the Mariners can get to Urena early and often, and the Mariners’ bullpen can hold it down to get the job done and avoid the sweep. Give me Seattle here.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-George Springer, Outfielder, Toronto Blue Jays $10,800

On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game American League series featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Toronto Blue Jays arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Seattle Mariners playing below average baseball. The Mariners have lost four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 5-3 defeat to the Cleveland Guardians.

Similar to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Seattle Mariners are not playing well entering the second game of this American League series. Let me be more specific. Mariners have lost three of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-1 loss to the Texas Rangers six days ago.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tonight’s contest. Veteran outfielder George Springer has been a solid contributor for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025. With that said, how has Springer performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Springer’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 32 games that George Springer has played for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 MLB regular season, Springer has compiled a rather impressive .291 batting average, 42 hits (12 home runs), 21 walks, 15 RBIs (runs batted in), 17 runs scored, a .405 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .925 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks seventh in MLB.

Earlier this month, in the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians, Blue Jays outfielder George Springer played exceptionally well. In the Blue Jays win over the Guardians, Springer tallied one hit (one home run), two runs scored and two walks. It should also be mentioned that in the Blue Jays defeat of the Guardians, Springer tallied 33.9 FanDuel points.

In my view, George Springer is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Cal Raleigh, Catcher (Seattle Mariners) $13,800: Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. (Toronto Blue Jays) $12,000: Dylan Moore, Second Baseman (Seattle Mariners) $9,600.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads the Blue Jays with a .294 batting average, four home runs, and 18 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Blue Jays is Bowden Francis, who is 2-5 in seven starts this season, with a 5.66 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 35.0 innings.

Seattle Mariners Betting Preview

The Seattle Mariners (22-15, 12-7 Home) haven’t lost the series in a month and beat the likes of the Astros, Rangers, Reds, Red Sox, and Athletics in the process. The Mariners did fall to a 6-3 defeat in Game 1 of the home series against the Blue Jays. Luis Castillo took the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks in 5.0 innings.

This season, the Mariners average 5.08 runs per game (6th in the MLB) on a .246/.338/.411 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Mariners’ staff has a 3.81 ERA (13th) and 1.31 WHIP (20th). Jorge Polanco leads the Mariners with a .340 batting average, nine home runs, and 28 RBI this season.

• The Blue Jays rank 3rd in the league for strikeouts against this season (282).

Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last six. We saw nine combined runs in Game 1, and I am hoping for more of the same on Saturday. Bowden Francis is not pitching well lately; he allowed 14 runs in his last three starts, while rookie Evans was welcomed to the MLB with eight allowed runs in his first two starts. That being said, I expect both pitchers to struggle early on and surrender multiple runs. Eight of Toronto’s last ten games went Over, which was also the case in Seattle’s last ten games. Go with the Over.

The Mariners still have issues finishing games here and there, and last night wasn’t great. It could be tough to rebound from such efforts. Hancock also hasn’t been great this season, allowing 26 hits and 13 runs in 17.2 innings. Yes, Hancock has been better lately, but he still has an ERA over five for his career in 19 starts. The Athletics continue to play surprising baseball, which includes wins in 10 of their last 13 games. Wins like last night only add to the confidence in the clubhouse.

Springs has been hittable all season, but he’s coming off six shutout innings against the Rangers. I’m not sure how long this run will last, but the Athletics have this feel-good mojo going, and I’m going to ride that as long as it lasts.

Severino allowed a .222 BA in 45 at-bats against the Mariners, while Miller allowed a .192 BA in 52 at-bats against the Athletics. The mentioned H2H finished 4-2 for the A’s, and I won’t be surprised if we have a similar result on Monday. Anyways, I am going with Under.

However, the Mariners don’t score enough to be able to trust them against anyone right now. While I have my concerns with Logan Evans in just his second major league start, I think he has the far more consistent offense behind him. The Mariners’ bullpen is on par with how good the Rangers’ Pen has been as well this year. Give me Seattle in this one.

It’s going to be hard to give Texas the benefit of the doubt. Regardless of who Texas is sending out for the start. I’ll admit that Corbin has been better for the Rangers than I thought he would be so far this year, but last time I checked, to win a baseball game, you have to outscore the other team. I don’t see the Rangers doing that against anyone right now. Give me Seattle.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (16-16, 11-6 Home) are going through their worst period of the season, during which they suffered four consecutive series losses to the Dodgers, Athletics (twice), and Giants. In the latest 3-0 defeat to the A’s, the Rangers failed to get on the scoreboard for the fourth time this year. Tyler Mahle took the loss after allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk in 6.0 innings.

This season, the Rangers average 3.22 runs per game (30th in the MLB) on a .229/.285/.367 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.26 ERA (6th) and 1.14 WHIP (4th). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .218 batting average, four home runs, and 15 RBI this season.

Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

The Mariners won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, and they already swept the Rangers in a three-game series this season in Seattle. The Mariners are in better form right now, and I am leaning toward them, but I will opt for the Under instead of betting on the winner. Texas scored more than three runs only once in the last nine games and is 9-23 Over/Under this season. The Rangers have the worst offense in the MLB, but also one of the strongest defenses. Bryan Woo has posted four quality starts in his five starts this year, including the previous one against the Rangers, when he got the win after allowing one run in 7.0 innings. Back the Under.
