Seattle Mariners vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/7/24, 9:34 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/8/24 at 7:18 AM in MLB Picks

The Cardinals and Mariners meet in Game 3 of the series after Game 2 ended 2-0 with 7 hits between the two teams in St. Louis. Helsley earned his 43rd save and no other pitcher has more saves than him. None of the Cardinals' last 3 games have exceeded 7 runs.

The 2 runs came on a Pages HR against Gilbert that ended with 10 strikeouts, Gilbert would pitch the complete game in the loss and the Mariners struck out even more times, 13 on Saturday.

The Mariners will want to use their excellent pitching to keep the ball in the park, as the Mariners have a 36-17 record in games where their opponents do not hit HRs. A difficult task since before the Cardinals' last 3 games, this team was hitting with a collective AVG of 246 and a run differential of +22 over their opponents in the last 10 games.

For the Cardinals, Burlenson has 21 HRs, 30 BBs and 73 RBIs this season, while Goldschmitt has found a late offensive rhythm that has him hitting 16-for-41 in the last 10 games.
