Mariners vs. Red Sox Best MLB Prop Bets

Mariners Best MLB Prop Bet

George Kirby OVER 5.5 Hits Allowed (-155)

George Kirby has been a different pitcher on the road this season compared to the pitcher-friendly confines of T-Mobile Park. He’s allowed 80 hits in 87 innings at home, but 83 hits in just 60.2 innings on the road.

Kirby has allowed at least seven hits in each of his last nine starts on the road, so if you have the option of taking OVER 6.5 hits allowed to get the juice down, it may be worth doing.

Mariners vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Red Sox have a good opportunity to bounce back tonight as they return home after a lackluster showing at Yankee Stadium.

The Mariners have also been struggling recently, and are just 27-42 on the road this season.

The pitching matchup also favors the Red Sox, as George Kirby has a 5.19 ERA on the road (3.21 at home), including 11 earned runs in eight innings across his last two road starts. Meanwhile, Payton Tolle has been his usual stellar self for the Sox as of late.

Pick: Red Sox -162
