Cleveland Guardians vs Seattle Mariners Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/29/26

The Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners will wrap up a series on Sunday Night Baseball, now found on Peacock instead of ESPN. This is 1 of only 2 opening series that are 4 games rather than 3, and the Guardians have won 2 of the first 3. Last night, it was rookie Chase DeLauter hitting a 10^th inning bomb to secure the victory. The rookie has hit 4 in 3 games. He is one of several reasons that we are looking for the game total to go over on Sunday night.

While these teams traditionally play more of a small-ball style, we have been over this total in 2 of 3 so far. Neither starting pitcher strikes much fear in the opponent, as Slade Cecconi and Emerson Hancock will toe the rubber. Both bullpens have been heavily exposed already, and the main part of the lineups haven’t really gotten hot yet. For the M’s, Raleigh, Julio, Naylor, and Arozarena haven’t really done much, and it has been the bottom of the lineup producing. For the Guards, it has been DeLauter leading the way. There is plenty more potential for offense here than there is likelihood of a grind. Give me the game total over 7.5.

Guardians vs Mariners prediction: Over 7.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
