In Major League Baseball action on Friday, the Seattle Mariners are on the road at the Milwaukee Brewers. This game features the Mariners, who are 3-4 on the season, and third in the American League West. Seattle is coming off back to back losses at home to the Cleveland Guardians.
For the Milwaukee Brewers, after winning their first four games of the season, they lost on Wednesday at home to Minnesota. The Brewers are 4-1 on the season, and second in the National League Central.
The Milwaukee Brewers are -125 in this one over Seattle. The total is set at 7.5 runs.
Gilbert Throwing for Seattle
Logan Gilbert is going to get the start for the Seattle Mariners. Gilbert was strong in his first start against Boston, but did not record a decision. The 26 year old went 7 innings, and struck out 8 batters. Gilbert has gone back to back seasons winning 13 games.
The Mariners through 7 games have scored just 17 runs on the season. Obviously that is not going to be a recipe for success. The Mariners have a team batting average that has fallen below .200 on the season. The Mariners are 27th with a .196.
Ty France has gotten off to a solid start, as he is hitting .320 on the season. Mitch Haniger has a home run and three runs batted in for Seattle as well. The Mariners will head north to Toronto and face the Blue Jays in a three game series following this. Seattle then goes home to host the Cubs.
Peralta to the Bump
The Milwaukee Brewers are going to send Freddie Peralta to the mound. Peralta was also solid in his opener. He did get the win, as he allowed just 1 hit over 6 innings against the New York Mets. Peralta struck out 8 and walked just 1.
The talk of the town for the Milwaukee Brewers has been second base man Brice Turang. He is a stolen base guy, who is hitting .438 to start the season. Christian Yelich has provided some power for Milwaukee, with two home runs. Rhys Hoskins is in his first season with the team, and also has two home runs and drove in five.
As a team the Brewers are hitting .276 on the season. They also have an on base percentage of .349. Milwaukee will host this three game series, and then head out on the road for six games next week. The Brewers start in Cincinnati for three, and then head to Baltimore to battle the Orioles.
Brewers Top Mariners in Milwaukee
What a great pitching matchup this should be in Milwaukee. Two really good pitchers going at it. We expect this to stay low scoring, as both pitchers shine through six innings. When it comes down to the end, the Brewers find a way to score late and win this game. Our final bet for the game on Friday is the Milwaukee Brewers -125 over the Seattle Mariners in a battle between the National League and American League.
