Minnesota will try to find some offensive consistency when they continue their series with Seattle on Saturday night. The Twins were 4-2 on their current road trip with a couple of double digit scoring outputs, but they were shut down in Friday night’s 3-2 loss to the Mariners. Seattle bounced back from a 3-6 road jaunt to get another home win in the series opener, putting their mark to 27-12 at T-Mobile Park on the season.
Before Betting on June 29 Twins vs Mariners
The Mariners got a couple of late runs on Friday night to pick up the W, tying the game 2-2 in the bottom of the 8th and then getting the winning run on a ground out in the 10th. Bailey Ober had a hard luck night for Minnesota, going 6.0 IP and allowing just 2 hits but still getting a no decision while Seattle starter Logan Gilbert allowed just 4 hits in his own 6.0 IP. It was a relatively quiet night at the plate for both offenses.
Friday night’s series opener saw a solid performance from both starting pitchers, and Seattle will try to continue that with Bryce Miller (6-6, 3.90 ERA) on the hill Saturday. Miller has had an inconsistent month getting tagged for 6+ ER twice in his last four starts, but those were also both road appearances. His ERA is just 1.82 in 8 home starts compared to 6.28 in 8 outings away from T-Mobile Park.
Minnesota tries to even up the series behind Pablo Lopez (7-6, 5.11 ERA). The Twins have won three straight Lopez starts, but they’re also giving him run support scoring 9 runs/game in victories over the Rockies, Rays, and A’s – not exactly quality competition.

June 29 Twins vs Mariners Prediction & Pick
The fact that Minnesota is a slight favorite in this game is somewhat confusing considering how well Miller has been at home for Seattle. With Lopez being inconsistent for Minnesota with 5+ ER allowed in two of his last four starts, the Mariners (15 games above .500 at home) have the most value here.
Pick: Mariners ML
