Tyler Naquin had a pinch-hit walk-off single in the ninth inning to lift Cleveland to the win on Friday night. Shane Bieber had a great outing, going 7.2 innings and allowing just one run with eight strikeouts on 114 pitches. Brad Hand pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the victory.

MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners are 10-3 in their last 13 Saturday games, but they have lost four straight road games.

Cleveland

The Indians are 7-2 in their last nine games against a winning team and 7-3 in their last 10 home games.

Prediction:

Carrasco has been very hot and cold this season, but one of his hot starts was a seven-inning scoreless effort at Seattle back on April 17. Leake has allowed multiple runs in every start and Seattle has lost his last three starts. I think Cleveland at home will be tough to beat and Carrasco has the right game plan to get past this Seattle lineup. Look for the Mariners bats to struggle again today.

MLB Prediction: Cleveland Indians -205
