The Seattle Mariners (74-58) face the Cleveland Guardians (68-62) in game two of their three-game series at Progressive Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

The Mariners won Friday's opener 6-1 behind Luis Castillo's six scoreless innings and Cal Raleigh's two home runs. Cleveland managed nine hits but struggled to convert them into runs.

Game Details:

• Mariners (-154) vs Guardians (+130)
• Run line: Cleveland +1.5
• Over/Under: 7.5 runs

Pitching Matchup:

• Mariners: Robbie Ray (11-8, 3.58 ERA, 180 K)
• Guardians: Xzavion Curry (0-0, second MLB start)

Key Factors:

• Mariners have won 8 of their last 10 games
• Ray has won 3 straight starts, allowing just 3 earned runs in 19.2 innings
• Guardians struggling with injuries to rotation (Plesac, Civale on IL)
• Seattle's road record: 39-30
• Cleveland batters hitting just .169 (11-65) vs Ray

The Mariners look to continue their playoff push while Cleveland aims to maintain their AL Central lead despite mounting pitching injuries. The experienced Ray versus rookie Curry matchup heavily favors Seattle, though Cleveland's home field advantage could keep things competitive.

The Guardians will need their offense to step up against Ray, who has been dominant lately. Meanwhile, Curry faces a significant challenge in just his second MLB start against one of baseball's hottest teams.
