In this Braves vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -160 home favorites. Braves are the best team in baseball and we are getting them as +135 underdogs in this spot. Gilbert has not been good for the Mariners this season with a 4+ ERA, while Ritchie has two earned runs in each of his two starts for the Braves. Atlanta has the best offense and the fourth-best bullpen and I like them as road dogs against a Mariners team that just got swept at home by the Royals. Take the Braves on the moneyline for plus money.
