The Mariners have scored 17 runs in six games and rank 28th with an OPS of .561. They've struck out 11 times per game. While they might have the pitching edge with George Kirby opposing Logan Allen, I like the Guardians and their ninth-ranked offense (.795 OPS). Twenty-three year-old shortstop Brayan Rocchio (.907 OPS) is part of an impressive young core that's helped Cleveland to a 4-2 start. The Guardians should be more in the +120 range.

These teams have split the first two games of this series. The Mariners will have the starting pitching edge with George Kirby set to take the mound Wednesday. In his first start of the season, he logged 6 2/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox in Seattle. Last season, he was 8-4 with a 2.70 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP at home. Look for him to hold the lackluster Guardians’ lineup in check and help the Mariners earn a victory.
