Mariners Fell Just Short
The Mariners were competitive on Friday against the San Francisco Giants but fell short in extra innings. It was a back-and-forth game, and they finished with 15 runs, but they still fell short. Jorge Polanco was the bright spot of the offense, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs.
The Mariners did use eight bullpen members, and that has to be a major concern heading into this game. The pitching for this team has been inconsistent at best, giving up 4.87 runs per game. Bryce Miller will end up being on the mound, and he sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of .476. Against the Athletics in his first start, he went 5.2 innings, giving up six hits and three runs. They need him to go really deep in this game to make up for the tired bullpen that was caused on Friday.
Why the Mariners Will Beat the Giants
- The Giants have lost six of their last seven games as favorites against AL West opponents following a home win.
- The Mariners have won three of their last four games as underdogs after playing the previous day.

- The Giants have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 10 night games following an extra-innings win.
Strong Start for the Giants
It has been a strong start for the Giants, and coming into this game, they sit with a 6-1 record overall. On Friday, they scored 10 runs and 17 hits, and that was enough to pick up the win. Matt Chapman had quite the game, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. Willy Adames also finished with three hits and three RBIs. Two games ago, against the Houston Astros, the Giants picked up a 6-3 victory.
The Giants’ offense has been strong all season, averaging 5.71 runs per game, which is fifth best in the league. Robbie Ray will start this game for the Giants. He has a 1-0 record and an ERA of 5.86. Against the Cincinnati Reds, he went 5.1 innings, giving up three hits and three runs.

Seattle Mariners vs San Francisco Giants Prediction
Friday was a high-scoring game, and I am expecting much of the same here. The bullpens for these teams are taxed, and when both of these pitchers are chased early, it’s going to make for a high-scoring game. Robbie Ray wasn’t dominant in his last start, and he’s going to be lit up here. The Marienrs will get out to a fast start, and they will cruise. The Mariners’ pitching will also struggle, and this game will end up over the total. Back the over.
