Pick

The Mariners look to continue their hot play and they are currently tied for first in the AL West with the Houston Astros, while New York is in last place in the NL East. Seattle has played very well over the last few months and they are 37-28 on the road this year. The Mariners are starting Logan Gilbert, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Mets are starting Kodai Senga, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. Senga has been one of the lone bright spots for New York this year, but he is going against a very hot Seattle lineup. Take the Mariners to get another win here.
