Game Prediction
Seattle has been too inconsistent to trust, whereas Boston has been good all year. The Red Sox’s record reflects how brutal their schedule has been to start the year. I am going with my gut and riding Boston to win and cover the run line. Bello has been pitching better, and with the Mariners’ offense being on the weaker side, he has a good day on the mound.
