Seattle Mariners vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/8/26, 1:09 PM  by Sarah Lou Jones in MLB Picks

Seattle Mariners welcome back Tampa Bay Rays to the T Mobile Park for the second match of their three-game MLB series. The Rays came out on top in the first meeting of this series, running out 2-1 winners. Another win for Tampa Bay here could see them stretch their lead at the top of the American League East, but the Mariners are looking to put pressure on the Astros and Texas Rangers at the top of American League West. 

The first meeting between the two didn't yield as many runs as expected, especially when you consider the Rays had scored 26 across their previous three games. This is also likely to be a low scoring affair, but our pick points to the Rays coming out on top once again.

Tampa have a great recent record against the Mariners, winning five from the last six head-to-head meetings. Their overall recent record is also impressive, winning five from six and boast a Last 10 record of 7-3. For the Mariners, it's a different tale. They've won three and lost three of their last six, and hold a Last 10 record of 4-6. We're expecting Tampa to extend their lead at the top of the American League East with victory here.
