The Mariners and Rays square off Monday night in Tampa in a matchup with plenty of betting angles. Seattle has owned this head-to-head, going 6-1 straight up in its last 7 games against Tampa Bay, and oddsmakers have this one close to a pick’em at Mariners -110 / Rays -106.
On totals, Tampa trends toward offense at home—the OVER has cashed in 4 of their last 5 games at Tropicana—and the line is set at 7.5 runs (O +115 / U -105). Seattle sends Luis Castillo, while Tampa counters with Shane Baz, giving this matchup a strong pitching narrative.
With the public eyeing Seattle’s dominance, sharp bettors may look to exploit value on the total instead.
