Seattle Mariners
The two runs Seattle scored in the first inning of Friday’s opener against the Twins were all it needed in a 2–1 win at Target Field.
Mitch Haniger hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat of the season and Robbie Ray pitched like an ace in his first start as a Mariner after signing a lucrative four-year deal in the offseason.
Ray only struck out five to four walks but he went seven strong, gave up just three hits, one run, and earned the victory.
Paul Sewald and Drew Steckenrider threw a scoreless inning each in relief, the latter earning the save.
Logan Gilbert is a 6’6″ right-hander who was the Mariners’ first round pick in the 2018 draft.
He won’t turn 25 until next month but he threw 120 innings in 24 starts last season. His ERA wasn’t quite at the league average but his strikeout to walk numbers were.
He struck out exactly 100 more batters (128) than he walked (28). He also gave up less than a hit an inning, which had his WHIP in the top half of big league starters.
Give the youngster more opportunity and the wins should follow.
Minnesota Twins
The Twins got their only run on a solo shot from the newly-acquired Gio Urshela.
Joe Ryan threw decently well in his first Opening Day start at 25 years old.
Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa combined to go just 1-for-8 in the first two lineup spots.
After three seasons with Cincinnati, Sonny Gray is back in the American League.
He re-established himself as a starting pitcher worthy of the top of a rotation in those three years in Cincinnati.
But the Reds flipped him for a younger pitcher the Twins took in the first round. He’s got two more years left on his contract.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:

Seattle Mariners vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction:
The first game started out slowly for both offenses.
That will continue in the second from cold Minnesota.
This young pitcher Gilbert from Seattle is an interesting up-and-comer.
He and Gray both pitch relatively well and this one just stays under the total.
