Seattle Mariners vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction: Cardinals have a good win record

On Saturday, Major League Baseball action moves to T-Mobile Park to feature the St. Louis Cardinals and the Seattle Mariners. The Cardinals just finished a series against the Diamondbacks, losing two of the three games. Meanwhile, the Mariners' previous opponent were the Brewers, in a series the Mariners lost.

On the Seattle side, this week's matchup against the Brewers was particularly difficult for them. The Mariners were defeated in each of those games by scores of 5-3, 7-3, and 6-5, respectively. During the game on Wednesday, Seattle's Marco Gonzales started on the mound and allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while pitching 6.0 innings. The Mariners, on the other hand, have a record of 4-1 in their past five games played on Friday and 5-12 in their last 17 games played in game one of a series. After suffering a defeat, Seattle's record in their previous five games is 1-4.

The first two games of the series against the Diamondbacks were played on Monday, and St. Louis were defeated by scores of 6-3 and 8-7, respectively. With a win of 14-5 in game three, the Cardinals were able to avoid being swept by the Pirates. Over the course of the first five innings, starting pitcher Jake Woodford allowed four earned runs, seven hits, and one walk. The Cardinals have a record of 35-17 in their previous 52 games against teams with a losing record, including 9-4 in their last 13 games played on Friday. St. Louis has a record of 2-6 in their previous eight games played away from home against other leagues.

We are going to wager on the Mariners in this one. In his first race of the year, Kirby got off to a shaky start, but in his most recent couple of races, he has shown remarkable improvement. In his two starts, Kirby has accumulated 12.1 innings with three earned runs on 11 hits and no walks. As for Matz, over his first 11.0 innings of work this season, he was responsible for 10 earned runs allowed. Having said that, Matz turned in a fairly solid performance against Pittsburgh in his most recent start: 5.2 innings, two earned runs, five walks, and three hits. Therefore, we expect many innings here, and a bet on overs should be considered with the two teams leading offenses showing strong moves so far.
