Cleveland Guardians vs Seattle Mariners Prediction: Expect an entertaining performance from the two sides

Progressive Field will host the opener of a three-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners. In their last series, the Guardians dominated. Can the Mariners have a say in this one?

The Cleveland Guardians are coming off a series against the Toronto Blue Jays and lost. In the opener of that series, the Cleveland Guardians started with a 1-3 win and then lost the last two games 5-0 and 7-6. However, the Cleveland Guardians prior series to that defeat did see them defeat the Cincinnati Reds and the Miami Marlins. In the MLB this series, Cleveland Guardians have a 44-25 record and are seated 3rd in the American League standings.

The Seattle Mariners hope to be at the top level in this game following a series win against the Texas Rangers. In the first two games of that series, the Seattle Mariners secured 3-2 and 7-5 wins, and in the finale, they won by a 5-margin run. In recent series, the Seattle Mariners have now stepped up with consecutive top performances, defeating the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics, with their lone defeat being against the Kansas City Royals. The Seattle Mariners have a 43-31 record so far in the American League this season, leaving them at the top of the American League West Division.

This is going to be a well-competed game, and we can expect the two teams to give their best performances. More is expected from the Cleveland Guardians at home, but the Seattle Mariners have also been a threat to many sides in recent times. However, looking at the number of runs the Seattle Mariners have scored in recent games, we could expect this game to end with a close outcome even though Cleveland Guardians are home favorites. Therefore, I expect this game to end with high runs while the Mariners cover the spread.
