Orioles vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 37-36 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark too with their 19-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Orioles haven't looked good in their games this season with their 34-39 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL East. They have been a terrible road team too with their 12-20 road record this year. Neither team has looked great lately as both are 4-6 in their last 10 games respectively and they just split a 4-game series last week. The Mariners have also been cooling off lately, but they are going to have the better pitching matchup in this one and the Orioles have been giving up a ton of runs lately. Bradish is on the mound for the Orioles in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 3-7 with a 4.30 ERA and he has been giving up quite a few runs this year. His team has been having success with him lately, winning 3 of their last 4 games with him starting, but he did give up 5 earned runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him. Kirby is on the mound for the Mariners in this one and he hasn't looked great this season either. He is 5-6 with a 4.07 ERA and his team hasn't been having a ton of success with him lately. They have lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he only gave up 3 earned runs in his last start and he hasn't been giving up as many runs at home either. Kirby will be the better starter here and the Mariners bullpen has been more trustworthy over the course of the season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“It was tough. Just did my job, executed pitches, got the ball on the ground. This game is a game of inches and you could either let it affect the rest of the day, or as soon as the ball hits the bag, you’ve just got to laugh at stuff like that.” - Trevor Rogers after their loss against the Padres in their game on Sunday. 


“A chance for him to make sure he was OK, and get him off of his feet for the rest of that one.” - Dan Wilson on the injury to Josh Naylor after his team’s loss against the Nationals in their game on Sunday.
