Red Sox vs Mariners Betting Pick
This game will be played at T-Mobile Park at 10:10 PM ET on Saturday, June 11, 2022.
Why Bet The Red Sox:
✅ Boston will start Michael Wacha, who’s enjoying a wonderful season. The 30-year-old right-hander is 4-1 with a shiny 1.99 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in nine starts (49.2 IP) in 2022. Last Monday, Wacha went distance in a 1-0 shutout victory at the slumping Los Angeles Angels, allowing just three hits and a walk while punching out six. He’s surrendered seven earned runs over his previous five starts and 29.1 innings of work.
✅ George Kirby (1-1; 3.38 ERA) will take the mound for the Mariners, and the 24-year-old rookie right-hander yielded four earned runs on eight hits across five innings in his previous start at home. The Mariners will be in trouble if Kirby starts to struggle because their bullpen has an abysmal 5.18 ERA, 6.31 FIP, and 2.59 HR/9 in June.

✅ Boston’s bullpen has done a superb job in the last ten days and 24 frames of work, posting a 1.88 ERA, 2.60 FIP, and .255 BABIP. It has surrendered only 0.38 home runs per nine innings while striking out 10.5.
Boston Red Sox
The Sawx put an end to their seven-game winning streak last Thursday, suffering a 5-2 defeat at the Los Angeles Angels. They blew a chance to sweep a four-game set at Angel Stadium, while Nick Pivetta allowed four earned runs and whiffed 11 in a losing effort.
Boston fell to 30-28 on the season, sitting at the fourth spot in the AL East. The Red Sox are scoring 4.69 runs per game (7th in the MLB) while giving up 4.03 in a return (tied-11th).
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have won four straight series and eight of their previous 12 games overall, improving to 26-31 on the season. They were sitting at the fourth spot in the AL West on Friday, just one game behind the second-placed Angels and ten off the Houston Astros.
Seattle is tallying 4.14 runs per game (21st in the majors) on a .238/.321/.388 slash line. The M’s are yielding 4.33 runs in a return (19th) while posting a 4.11 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.
