Giants vs Mariners predictions and forecasts
prediction
Mariners 3, Giants 2
Money Line
The Mariners (-142) are worth watching in the series finale on Sunday, as Woo is nearly unbeatable at home.
Wu has started six games at home this season, allowing just six runs and three walks in 35 innings. Seattle has had some consistency issues lately, but Wu is certainly an issue.
The Giants (+120) probably won't go quietly losing, as Ray has a pretty solid record on the road, but you have to root for Wu, especially at home.
Against run line/spread
The Giants +1.5 (-178) will cost you almost double the potential return if you want a little insurance, but you can’t directly pick the visiting team.
It's too much risk and not enough reward. If you love San Francisco, take the bet anyway.

Over/Under
The pitching matchup between Lai and Wu is worth keeping an eye on at Under 7 (+100), as we should see a lot of doughnuts from both pitchers.
Playing the under goes against Seattle's trend, but the over is 6-1-1 in their last eight games, with the only under coming when Wu pitched. In fact, the under has won each of Seattle's last three starts with the right-hander.
For the Giants, the under has a slight advantage at 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, but it's important to note that the over is 5-1 in San Francisco's last six road games, including the first two games of this series.
