Pick: Mariners ML (-105)
The Minnesota Twins and the Seattle Mariners will play the finale of a three game weekend series here on Sunday afternoon in the Pacific Northwest. These are two teams that came into the season with expectations of making the postseason potential wildcard teams. However, at the moment, both of these teams have a massive opportunity to win their respective American League divisions, as long as they continue to play solid baseball throughout the rest of the season. This could be a pivotal point in the season for both of these teams and they look to pick up here and Sunday finale to wrap up this weekend and head into July on a high note.
Minnesota comes into this game, still chasing down Cleveland in the American League Central division, and they will look for a crucial victory here in this one on Sunday afternoon. Minnesota will need to pick up victory against Seattle to try and secure the tiebreaker like Cleveland has against the Mariners earlier this season. This is a Minnesota team that people expected to run away with the American League Central division. However, that has not been the case, and they will look to at least establish themselves as a legitimate playoff threat by stringing some victories together over other top teams in the American League.
Minnesota comes into this game with a record of 46-37 through their first 83 games of the 2024 Major League Baseball season. Joe Ryan gets the start for Minnesota in this game on Sunday afternoon, and although he is not as dominant as he has been in the past, he is still putting up respectable numbers this season. He comes into this game sitting dead even with five victories and five losses on the season. He will look to improve upon his 3.31 ERA here against Seattle on Sunday afternoon as well as he looks to pick up his sixth win of the year and lead Minnesota to a much-needed victory over the American League West division leaders on the road.

The Seattle Mariners have had a lot of success throughout the early part of the season and they will look to keep the momentum rolling with another victory here on Sunday against Minnesota. Seattle has been performing above expectations in a division that includes two of the most recent World Series champions, and they will look to maintain their American League West division with a victory over Minnesota as they look too close out this series and head into the month of July on a high note. Seattle comes into this game with a record of 47-38 through their first 85 games of the 2024 Major League Baseball season.
Luis Castillo will get the start for Seattle in this game and he is having plenty of struggles this season only a couple of years removed after a few of the best seasons of his career. He comes into this game with a 6-9 on the year and he will look to pick up his seventh victory of the season and what feels like a must win game for him if he wants to turn around his fortune throughout the second half of the year. It has been a bit of a rough stretch for Seattle and he will look to help them turn it around as they come into this game against Minnesota as losers of seven out of their last ten on the season.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Seattle is 28-13 at home
- Minnesota is 15-23 against teams above .500
- Seattle is 22-15 after a loss
I expect this to be a close and competitive matchup throughout the entire entirety of the contest here in Seattle on Sunday. In the end, I look for the Seattle Mariners to pick up the victory over the Minnesota Twins in a game that they desperately need to win to get their season back on track after a rough stretch over the last 10 games. A victory in this game would also give Seattle the victory in the series after winning the opening game on Friday, but failing to pick up the win on Saturday. So they will certainly be on the lookout to grab a victory to wrap it up and heading into July on a high note and that is exactly what I expect out of the Mariners in this one.
