Seattle Mariners vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 09/02/25

The Rays took the first game of this series by a score of 10-2 on Monday. Tuesday’s matchup could yield a lower-scoring result. It starts with the visitors, as Seattle’s Bryan Woo has been a model of consistency this season. Woo enters this matchup with a 2.95 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 26 starts and 164.2 innings of work, and he consistently pitches deep into games and give his team a solid position to win every time he takes the mound. The Rays exploded for 10 runs on 13 hits in Monday’s contest, but Woo should be able to limit the damage and hold the Tampa Bay lineup in check.

Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen will take the mound for the home team. Unlike some of his teammates, Rasmussen has enjoyed pitching at George M. Steinbrenner Field. There, he owns a solid 2.58 ERA and .210 BAA in 15 starts and 76.2 innings. The Mariners haven’t been putting up big run totals offensively in recent weeks, and Rasmussen is in a groove right now. In August, the veteran right-hander posted a 1.53 ERA over 5 starts, allowing just 5 earned runs over 29.1 innings of work. With a pitching matchup like this, the under is the play.
