MLB Odds: Mariners-Nationals prediction, odds and pick

The Seattle Mariners are on a hot streak and have won their last eight games in a row. They have a tough schedule but they won over the San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays. Washington is struggling and has the second-worst record in baseball at 30-59. The team is led by Juan Soto, Nelson Cruz, and Josh Bell.

Chris Flexen is pitching for the Mariners tonight. He went six scoreless innings against the Padres. First baseman Ty France was not selected for 2022 All-Star Game. Julio Rodriguez made the team. France is batting .308 on the year with 10 homers and 45 RBIs. Rodriguez is hitting .274 with 15 home runs and 44 RBI. Both players have 89 hits on season.

The Nationals are struggling to find an exciting lineup. Juan Soto is batting just .243 on the season. Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz are potential trade candidates. Josiah Gray is pitching for the Nationals tonight. He is coming off of a win over the Philadelphia Phillies. If he can repeat that performance, the Nats have a chance of covering the spread.

The Mariners are on the gas pedal right now and have a favorable matchup in front of them.
