The Mariners Can Win If…

The Mariners have a strong lineup that ranks 4th in home runs with 172 this season. Their on-base percentage is 9th at .318, which helps them create scoring opportunities. With key hitters like Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suárez, they have the power to score runs quickly.
Seattle’s pitching staff is also solid, with a team ERA of 3.78, placing them 10th in the league. Luis Castillo, their starting pitcher for the next game, has a 3.19 ERA and a WHIP of 1.19. With Castillo on the mound, the Mariners have a good chance to control the game against the New York Mets.
The Mets Can Win If…
The New York Mets are looking to rebound after a close 4-3 loss against the Atlanta Braves. Francisco Lindor was a standout, going 3 for 4 with a home run. Kodai Senga pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing only two earned runs and striking out seven batters.
The Mets have a strong lineup that can produce runs. They rank 8th in slugging percentage and 9th in home runs this season. With power hitters like Pete Alonso, who leads the team with 28 home runs, they have the potential to score big.
On the mound, Sean Manaea will start for the Mets. He has a solid WHIP of 1.11, showing his ability to limit base runners. With the Mets’ lineup and Manaea’s pitching, they have a good chance to secure a win against the Mariners.
The Lean
The Mets are favored on the moneyline at -120, while the Mariners are at +101. My model projects the Mets to win with a score of 5-4. The Mets’ slightly better team batting average and on-base percentage give them an edge, making them the pick to win straight up.
The total for the game is set at 8.5 runs, with the over at -102 and the under at -118. My model projects a total of 9 runs. Given both teams’ strong slugging percentages and home run capabilities, the over is the recommended pick.

Mariners Try to End Brief Skid, Mets Hope to Revive Season
The Seattle Mariners will try to bounce back from their first series loss since the trade deadline when they open a three-game set against the struggling New York Mets on Friday night at Citi Field.
Seattle will send right-hander Luis Castillo (8-6, 3.19 ERA) to the mound against Mets lefty Sean Manaea (1-1, 4.33 ERA).
Probable Pitching Matchup
| Pitcher | Team | W-L | ERA | WHIP | Last Start |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luis Castillo | Mariners | 8-6 | 3.19 | 1.14 | 7.0 IP, 2 ER vs. Rays |
| Sean Manaea | Mets | 1-1 | 4.33 | 1.29 | 4.0 IP, 4 ER vs. Brewers |
The Mariners, who had won eight straight games before a pair of losses to the Baltimore Orioles, enter this matchup with a 9-3 August record and hold the top spot in the American League wild-card standings. They also sit just 1.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West.
Manager Dan Wilson praised the team’s late push in Thursday’s 5-3 loss to Baltimore but admitted the early deficit was too much to overcome.
“Trying to tie this thing up and win this series was admirable,” Wilson said. “But we just dug ourselves too big a hole.”
Team Performance Snapshot
| Team | Last 10 Games | Season Record | Runs Per Game | Runs Allowed Per Game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mariners | 8-2 | 71-53 | 4.6 | 3.8 |
| Mets | 2-8 | 66-58 | 4.9 | 4.7 |
The Mets, meanwhile, have plummeted to a 2-10 mark in August after Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Manager Carlos Mendoza stressed the need to focus on execution rather than the standings, as New York clings to a half-game lead over the Cincinnati Reds for the final NL wild-card spot.
Castillo has faced the Mets five times in his career, going 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA. Manaea owns an 8-8 career record and a 3.88 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) against Seattle.
