New York Mets vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the Mariners here. I just don’t love this matchup for Sean Manaea as the Mariners were hitting lefties fairly well even when this team was struggling offensively at the plate. The Mets need wins themselves, but Gilbert can be a tough out, especially at home, and I just think this is a rough series for the Mets to find themselves in. All in all I think home field is the difference here and the Mariners get the job done. Give me Seattle.
Chris’s Pick Seattle -130
