Mariners Have Been a Near Lock to Go OVER at Home

Winners of seven of their last 10 games, the Minnesota Twins are sitting pretty atop the Central Division and will be looking to improve on their 27-15 SU record tonight on the road against the Seattle Mariners. Sportsbooks opened the Twins as -110 road faves with a total of 9.5.

My Best Bet for Twins-Mariners

OVER 9.5 runs

Based on the recent struggles of Pineda and Swanson, I’m on the OVER tonight as I’m expecting both offenses to tee off vs the hurlers. While the aforementioned UNDER trend will likely generate significant traction on the UNDER, I’m going against the grain and banking on offensive fireworks in Washington.

After all, the Mariners have gone OVER in five of their last six home games with an average combined score of 11.9 runs. Take the OVER.

The Twins are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games as road favorites.away The Twins are 0-5 SU in their last five games vs the Mariners (avg. losing margin: 2.4). The total has gone OVER in five of the Mariners’ last six games at home (avg. combined score: 11.83).home
