Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread
Logan Gilbert is having an okay season on the mound for Seattle. He has a 4.19 ERA and a 5-5 record. However, his WHIP is just 1.06 and he has 93 strikeouts in 92 1/3 innings pitched. Gilbert has also pitched better on the road this season. When away from home, Gilbert is 4-1 with a 4.11 ERA, 51 strikeouts and .228 opponent batting average. He is very good on enemy grounds and that should not change much in this game. The Mariners were able to hold the Giants down in game one of this series, so the gameplan is obviously right. If Gilbert can have a good start, the Mariners will cover the spread.
Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread
Keaton Winn is slotted to make his second start of the season after dazzling in his first one. In his first start, Winn went six innings, allowed just two runs on three hits and struck out three against a pretty good Toronto Blue Jays team. He was in the long relief for his first three appearances, so his arm is conditioned to go deep into the game. The Mariners are not the best hitting team, and Logan Webb was able to strike out 11 in Monday's game. Winn is not the biggest strikeout pitcher, but he does a good job limiting the hits. If he can create weak contact against a struggling offense, the Giants should have no problem covering the spread.
Final Mariners-Giants Prediction & Pick
This is a tough game to predict. Both pitchers are pretty good and you never know which team is going to show up with their bats. The Giants and Mariners are both capable of scoring some runs, but they can just as easily be shut out. I expect this game to be close, so I am rolling with the Giants to cover the spread as underdogs.
Final Mariners-Giants Prediction & Pick: Giants +1.5 (-192), Over 8 (-105)
