Trends

St. Louis is 6-2 in their last 8 interleague games and 38-18 in their last 56 Saturday games. The under is 5-2 in St. Louis’ last 7 game two’s of a series. Seattle is 5-2 in their last 7 Saturday games and 29-12 in their last 41 game two’s of a series. The over is 5-1 in Seattle’s last 6 game two’s of a series. The under is 8-3-1 in these two teams last 12 head to head meetings.

Pick

Both of these teams have struggled in their last few games, but Seattle was able to get the win in Game 1 of this series. The Mariners will look to make it two in a row with Luis Castillo on the mound, who has been fantastic this year. The Cardinals will start Miles Mikolas, who has allowed at least five earned runs in three of his four starts this year. I like the Mariners to win this game behind another great outing from Castillo.
