Seattle travels to Baltimore for a high-stakes tilt with the Orioles, a game that could echo last night’s tight 1-0 Mariners win behind seven innings from George Kirby. Tonight Logan Gilbert faces Trevor Rogers in a rematch of two potent young aces, with Kremer back on the other side. Naylor’s RBI in the first provided the difference and kept Baltimore in striking distance, but the visitors won with pitching and minimal offense. Expect another low-scoring duel as both bullpens get taxed late. NBC Sports lines list Seattle at -141 with a 8.0 over/under and a -1.5 spread, signaling a slim edge for the visitors in a battle of craft over power. Fantasy managers should lean on Gilbert’s elite strikeout pace, Rogers’ stingy ERA, and the potential for one big swing from Naylor or Suarez to swing a shallow scoreboard.

In a season shaped by pitching duels, this matchup could hinge on a handful of at-bats in the first two frames. The Mariners have rode a 9-1 stretch in their last 10, while Baltimore tries to arrest a slide. Polanco and Suarez have shown upside in August, while Polanco’s recent struggles and Suarez’s August slump warrant a measured approach. If you’re chasing upside, both Gilbert and Kremer carry the upside of a big K night or abes of control, while the under has cred in recent Mariners-Orioles affairs.

Across the board, the day’s model leans toward cautious betting and careful DFS builds: a low-scoring game with a narrow winning margin, and a few players poised for breakout moments from deep rosters. The game’s path to fantasy relevance comes through Gilbert’s matchup control, Naylor’s early-inning contact, and the bullpen bridge that follows a tight start.
