The Cleveland Guardians (67-58) messing with the Seattle Mariners (69-58) Sunday in the final of a 4-game set at T-Mobile Park. The first pitch is set at 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines of Tipico Sportsbook around Guardians vs Sailors chances with MLB picks and predictions.

Season Series: Mariners Lead 2-1

The Guardians scored 3 in the 8th inning to steal a 4-3 win on Saturday. All Star 3B Jose RamirezI had a homer, double and 2 RBI’s to lead the attack. Cleveland is 3 games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central and is 19-11 over the last 30 games.

Seattle has been inconsistent. The Mariners took 2 games from the first place Guardians in this series, but lost 1 of 2 and 2 of 3 respectively against the last seeded Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics in the previous two series. They will have to tighten things up to hold onto that last AL Wild Card spot, leading the Baltimore Orioles by 1 1/2 games.

Guards at Mariner’s Picks and Predictions

Forecast

Sailors 4, Watchmen 3

money line

The Mariners are a bit expensive on the ML for such evenly matched teams. Ray certainly gives the M’s an edge, but Civale’s numbers were secretly good and he was great in a start against them last year.

I’m rockin’ with the Mariners, but let’s take a little less juice and move on MARINERS FIRST 9 INNINGS (-130) and hope we don’t need any extras.

Walk Line/Against the Spread

I like Cleveland’s side very much, and so do the books. I think it takes 4 runs to win this game and if you win with Seattle let’s keep going MARINERS OVER 3.5 TOTAL RUNS (-130).

top/bottom

It’s a somewhat chilly 68 degrees in Seattle with 7 miles per hour wind blowing into right center field. But because of that temperature, I don’t see the ball flying very well today.

All 3 games in the series have had 7 runs or less and I look for a well played game from both sides. The Under is 21-10-1 in the last 32 meetings between these two sides in Seattle. Let’s go UNDER 7.5 (-125).
