Guardians vs Mariners Betting Prediction
Seattle was able to hang on for the win in game one of this series, but Cleveland nearly erased a 4-0 deficit. The Guardians have had very good pitching to start this season and they will turn to Shane Bieber for this game, who dominated Oakland in his first start. Seattle is starting Luis Castillo, who is looking to bounce back after a rough outing against Boston. This should be a great game to watch, as we have two very good pitchers going against each other, but I am going to side with Bieber and the Guardians here.
