The Monday baseball slate has 13 MLB games, including the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners who are set to begin a three game series in Seattle. Both MLB teams come into this series looking to build on their starts to the 162 game MLB schedule.
The Brewers come into this game at 11-5, the 3rd best record in all the MLB standings, while the Mariners check in at 8-8. The Brewers, atop the NL Central, have found success thanks to solid starting pitching and relief pitching. The Mariners on the other hand are starting to find their identity as winners of four straight contests.
The Brewers vs Mariners odds are now out for the opening game of the series in Seattle.
Brewers vs Mariners Odds
The Brewers vs Mariners odds show the Brewers opening up as early favorites for tonight’s game at -140 on the moneyline. The over/under is set at 8, largely due in part to the pitching that is expected in tonight’s contest.
I believe the Brewers vs Mariners odds reflect the Brewers probable starter for tonight, and that is the right-handed hurler Corbin Burnes. While Corbin’s MLB player stats for the season don’t jump out on paper, it is evident that the books are respecting the pitcher he can and will be.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Seattle Mariners Betting Preview
Milwaukee Brewers
As previously mentioned, the Brewers come into tonight’s game with a very solid 11-5 record to begin the 2023 season. Thus far, the Milwaukee Brewers games as a whole haven’t been close, as they pose a +28 run differential through 16 games. Expected on the mound tonight is Corbin Burnes, who baseball fans know is a Cy Young-caliber pitcher.
Following yesterday’s 1-0 shutout victory over the San Diego Padres, the Brewers look to rattle their bats more while continuing to silence their opponents. Some Brewers bats to watch tonight against a probable righty starter for the Mariners in Chris Flexen, include Rowdy Tellez, who leads the team with five homers, and also the hot bat of William Contreras, who holds a team-best .318 batting average.
Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners schedule was not friendly in the early going, but they have fought off a rough start by rattling off four straight victories, one againts the Chicago Cubs and then sweeping the Colorado Rockies at home. The Mariners also come into this game following a 1-0 shutout victory.
Looking at the Mariners MLB injury report, they have two starters in their rotation listed, with Marco Gonzales on paternity leave while Robbie Ray is on the 15-day IL with an elbow injury. The Mariners turn to probable starter Chris Flexen to try to keep the Brewers bats at bay while young phenom Julio Rodriguez and rookie Jared Kelenic to make noise on offense.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Seattle Mariners Betting Picks
Looking at the Brewers vs Mariners odds, I love the Brewers in this matchup. With Corbin Burnes on the mound, the Brewers on the moneyline is one of my favorite MLB picks of the day. Look for Corbin Burnes to lower his 5.19 ERA tonight against an offense that is still searching for their true identity.
- I would play the Brewers moneyline at -160 or better.
- I would lean towards the under 8 runs as well in a potential get-right game for Chris Flexen after an abysmal performance last time out.
