The St. Louis Cardinals and Seattle Mariners meet Sunday in MLB action at T-Mobile Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The St. Louis Cardinals have scored 20 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Cardinals are 7-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Nolan Arenado leads the Cardinals with 24 hits and 14 RBI, while Paul Goldschmidt and Wilson Contreras have combined for 40 hits and 19 RBI. Jack Flaherty gets the ball, and he is 1-2 with a 2.95 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. This will be Flaherty’s second career game against the Mariners.
The Seattle Mariners have scored 13 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 10 games. The Mariners are 7-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Ty France leads the Mariners with 24 hits and 13 RBI, while Julio Rodriguez and Eugenio Suarez have combined for 45 hits and 27 RBI.

The Cardinals are 9-4 in their last 13 Sunday games and 17-6 in their last 23 during game 3 of a series. The Mariners are 2-5 in their last 7 during game 3 of a series and 1-5 in their last 6 Sunday games. The over is 4-1-1 in Cardinals last 6 overall. The over is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 Sunday games. The under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings in Seattle.
The St. Louis Cardinals are getting the love from oddsmakers because Jack Flaherty is on the mound, but he’s had issues with control lately, walking 17 guys through 21.1 innings. The Mariners’ offense could make him pay if that continues. Also, the Mariners have simply been the more consistent team up to this point, and we’re getting plus money at home. Give me the M’s.
