Miami Marlins vs Seattle Mariners. The MLB pick for this game is the Seattle Mariners. Jesus Luzardo helped his club win 6-1 at home in his previous outing against the Kansas City Royals by pitching seven innings of one-run, two-hit ball. He’ll have a much tougher job this time since the Mariners have recently been much more deadly versus left-handed pitchers. The talented rookie pitcher, though, can only continue to improve upon his performance against the Yankees and Rangers. However, it’s challenging to put your faith in Bryce Miller. The Mariners are expected to win since the Marlins had to travel from Chicago to Seattle for this game. It could be smart to take the under on the totals because this game could potentially go either way. The Seattle Mariners will triumph, according to the odds, 6-4.
