Cleveland Guardians vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’ll stick with the Mariners. Miller has two great starts and one rough outing in his last three appearances. In the one bad start, Miller gave up seven earned on six hits and three walks in a no-decision versus the Royals. In the two good ones Miller posted 13.0 innings, zero earned, five hits and three walks. As for McKenzie, he’s given up 11 earned runs over his last 15.2 innings total. McKenzie’s last start wasn’t too bad, though: 5.1 innings with two earned in a win over the Reds.

Seattle scored 15 runs over three Games this past weekend, which was quite an improvement over their eight runs in the three prior to that. If the Mariners can keep the bats going Tuesday they should be in good shape.
