With George Kirby on the mound, despite his high ERA, the Mariners’ offense will look to provide him with enough run support to secure another win.

Surging Mariners Look to Keep Rolling Against Slumping Twins
The Seattle Mariners are looking like a first-place team again, and they’ll try to continue their recent surge on Wednesday evening as they face the slumping host, the Minnesota Twins. The Seattle Mariners have taken the first two games of the four-game series and are looking to stay hot against a Minnesota Twins team that is mired in a deep slump.
Seattle’s Complete Team Effort
The Mariners have won eight of their last eleven games, and their success has come from up and down the lineup. While superstars like Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez provide the star power, key contributions from veterans like Donovan Solano have made the offense deep and dangerous. Solano, who had two home runs on Sunday, drove in a pair of runs in Tuesday’s 6-5 victory.
“I never quit,” Solano said. “I tried to come here every time, try to help the team win, try to (give) my 100 percent with everything I have.”

Minnesota’s Search for Positives
While the Mariners are surging, the Twins are reeling, having lost five straight and 11 of their last 12 games. The team has struggled with pitching and defense, particularly with giving up big innings. Despite the brutal stretch, manager Rocco Baldelli is still finding positives in his team’s effort.
“It’s something that we want our guys to maintain, even with some of these ballgames not going the way we want,” Baldelli said, praising a player for aggressive baserunning in a loss. “Playing aggressively. That’s what we have preached from day one.” The psychology of a team trying to break a long losing streak is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
A Duel of Unfavorable Histories
Wednesday’s pitching matchup is a fascinating one, as it features two talented pitchers who have both historically struggled against their opponent. The Twins will start their ace, Joe Ryan (7-3, 3.06 ERA), but he has a career 0-3 record with a 5.50 ERA against the Mariners.
Seattle will counter with George Kirby (1-3, 6.16 ERA), who has also struggled this season and has a 5.06 career ERA against the Twins. This unique matchup of two pitchers facing a lineup that has had their number will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
