Top MLB Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Mariners vs. Guardians
The Guardians are hitting a .098 ISO with a wOBA of .283 against righties in the last 30 days. The projected lineup doesn’t have a single player hitting a wOBA above .350. They’ll take on George Kirby, a rookie right-hander for the Mariners. He’s holding a 3.22 xFIP in that same 30-day time frame.
Kirby has also struck out 28.3% of batters in the last month while only walking 2.5%.
On the other hand, Cal Quantrill will take the mound for the Guardians. The right-hander has a 4.50 xFIP but has still been able to limit walks and line drives when balls are hit into play.
He’s also facing a Mariners lineup hitting a .149 ISO with a wOBA of .284. Seattle’s projected lineup has hit just 18.9% of line drives, and they have just a .241 BABIP.
Both starters should be able to keep this game tight throughout the game.
Bet: Under 7.5 (-105 at DraftKings)
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
