Prediction: Washington Nationals VS Seattle Mariners 2025-05-29
The Washington Nationals are looking to build on their 9-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners, thanks in part to Robert Hassell III's breakout game, which included his first major league home run. However, the Mariners are still favored to win, with odds of -110.
Emerson Hancock will take the mound for the Mariners, while MacKenzie Gore will start for the Nationals. The Mariners have a strong offense, ranking 10th in MLB with 4.7 runs per game, and have hit the over in 28 of their 53 games with a total this season.
Given the Mariners' strong offense and the Nationals' struggles on the road, I'm predicting the Mariners will come out on top. My best bet for this game is the Seattle Mariners -1.5, with odds of 1.54. The Mariners have won 18 of 33 games as the moneyline favorite this season, and I expect them to continue that trend against the Nationals.
Additionally, with the Mariners' high-powered offense and the Nationals' struggles to contain opposing teams, I also like the over 7.5, with odds of 1.91. The Mariners have hit 1.4 home runs per game, which ranks sixth in baseball, and I expect them to continue to hit well against the Nationals' pitching staff, which has a combined WHIP of 1.421, ranking 25th in MLB.
So, to sum it up, my predictions for this game are:
- Seattle Mariners -1.5 (odds: 1.54)
* Over 7.5 (odds: 1.91)
