Seattle at Minnesota

Seattle is on a 20-6 run on the road after taking the opener, 2-1. The Mariners have won seven straight as an underdog, including 6-0 as a road dog. Starter Logan Gilbert is tough to hit with great control (28 walks in 119 innings in 2021). Seattle has won seven of eight on the road against righty starters and is 15-3 when their opponent scores 2 runs or fewer in the last game. Minnesota is on a 38-44 run at home, 29-41 in day games. Starter Sonny Gray is on the downside of his career with a losing record at home a year ago and a 4.89 ERA. Seattle has won five of the last six meetings versus the Twins, so back the visitors. Play Seattle.
