Miami Marlins @ Seattle Mariners - April 25, 2025

Alright, fellow Mariners fans, it’s that time again! The atmosphere at T-Mobile Park is electric as our boys in blue prepare to take on the Miami Marlins this Friday night. There’s nothing quite like the roar of the crowd, and with our lucky jerseys on, we’re all set for a fantastic game under those bright lights!

Let’s dive into what we can expect from tonight’s matchup. The Marlins are sending Cal Quantrill to the mound—a right-hander who’s had a rough go this season with a record of 1-2 and an ERA hovering around 8.3. Let’s be real here: he hasn’t exactly been lights out, and his numbers suggest he’s been struggling more than most. This could be just what we need to capitalize on—let’s hope our hitters can feast on those fastballs!

On the flip side, Logan Gilbert takes the hill for us, boasting a much more respectable record of 1-1 with an ERA of about 4.0. While not stellar yet this season, he’s shown promise and has enough tools in his arsenal to keep Miami’s offense at bay. His strikeout rate is something we should all keep an eye on; if he can bring that number up tonight, it’ll be smooth sailing for us!

When you look at team performance stats, there are some interesting comparisons here too. The Marlins have averaged about 4.5 runs per game, which isn’t shabby by any means—but they’ve also been hitting better than we have overall (about .257 batting average). Still, their slugging percentage isn’t as high as ours! Meanwhile, our beloved Mariners have managed about 4.4 runs per game with some pretty consistent hitting lately.

We’ve seen glimpses of brilliance from our lineup over the past few games—like that recent nail-biter against Boston where we snuck away with a 4-3 win—and I can feel it in my bones that we’ll carry that momentum into tonight’s game! Our boys seem to be hitting their stride lately; plus we’re coming off a strong series win which always boosts morale.

As far as betting lines go, oddsmakers opened us up as -225 favorites against Miami—a sign they believe in us too! With only one win separating these two teams (we’re currently sitting at 14-11 while they sit at 11-13), I think we’ll put on quite the show for our fans tonight.

So here’s my prediction: Mariners beat the Marlins tonight! It’s going to be competitive but I’m leaning towards an UNDER finish considering both pitchers’ performances recently along with how tough it can be sometimes to break through those early innings in Seattle.

Get ready for an exciting night filled with baseball magic! Remember to wear your lucky gear and let’s cheer loud enough to shake T-Mobile Park! Go M’s!
