Tampa Bay Rays vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Tampa Bay Rays still can't string together runs, and throwing Jeffrey Springs on the mound doesn't help. Logan Gilbert has been an all star caliber pitcher this season, and he's been even better at home, where he has a 2.53 ERA and .185 allowed batting average. The Mariners are only 3.5 games out of the AL West race, and games like this are gimmes to keep chipping away. There's only one way for me to go here. Give me the Mariners.
