Mariners vs Brewers: The Best MLB Bet to Make for Wednesday Night

It’s now or never for the Mariners. If they want to make the playoffs, they need to go on a run. Tonight’s matchup against Milwaukee on the road is a pivotal matchup. Luckily for the Mariners, they have their ace Logan Gilbert on the bump tonight.

Dustin May has been great for the Brewers since they traded for him, but a matchup against a patient Mariners lineup could be where he finally struggles. When May isn’t pitching well, it’s typically when he’s struggling with his command. Tonight could be one of those nights against this scrappy Mariners lineup.

Logan Gilbert has been one of the few bright spots for the Mariners this season. He has been a steady presence as Seattle’s ace, and tonight he should dominate one again. Seeing the total in this game at o/u 7 tells me there won’t be a ton of runs in this game, meaning Gilbert will shove once again when the Mariners need it most. 

I was expecting the Mariners to be sitting at +120 or longer on the moneyline against the Brewers on Wednesday, Seeing them this short of underdogs is a great sign for Mariners backers. Fade the Brewers, and back the Mariners on Wednesday. They get a much needed win on the moneyline at plus money.
