Seattle Mariners vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

This Game is going to be a low-scoring Game. The Mariners’ offense isn’t good, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going against Pepiot. He gave up two runs in his last start, and he’s going to dominate again here. Look for this Game to be lower scoring also for the Rays as they are going to struggle against Bryce Miller. Both offenses are going to struggle and the under is going to cash.
