Seattle Mariners vs Miami Marlins Prediction: Marlins must step up in this rubber match

In Major League Baseball action on Thursday, the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners will square off at T-Mobile Park.

The Seattle Mariners have scored at least four runs in each of their previous five games, and they have scored at least four runs in each of their last three games. When scoring four or more runs in their last 10 games, the Seattle Mariners have won six of those games. Ty France, who has 71 hits and 31 runs batted in, is the Seattle Mariners' leading player. Julio Rodriguez and Teoscar Hernandez have a combined 127 hits and 73 runs batted in for the team. The Seattle Mariners have a record of 8-3 in their previous 13 games played at Safeco Field, including 4-1 in their last five contests against opponents from other leagues. In the last five games played by the Seattle Mariners, the over is 4-1.

The Miami Marlins have scored at least four runs in eight of their previous 11 games, including a stretch in which they scored ten runs in three consecutive games. The Miami Marlins have been victorious in their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. The Marlins are led in hits and runs batted in by Luis Arraez, who has 91, while Bryan De La Cruz and Jorge Soler have combined for 127 hits and 74 RBI. The Miami Marlins have a record of 5-0 in their past 5 games played on Thursday, as well as 5-1 in their last 6 games played during game 3 of a series. In the last 12 games that the Miami Marlins have played in game three of a series, they have an over/under record of 8-3-1.

The Seattle Mariners have been the more dominant side throughout this series. They also have the advantage of playing at home, and Luis Castillo appears to have regained his all-star form. In spite of all of this, it is arguable that the Miami Marlins have been the superior club in terms of overall performance this season, and Eury Perez is a terrific young pitcher who is capable of causing problems for any lineup. As a result, I am going to take a chance on the Miami Marlins in this game.
