The Seattle Mariners host the St. Louis Cardinals at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday night, with both teams fighting for positioning as the regular season winds down.
Seattle enters as heavy favorites at -145, looking to capitalize on home field advantage against a Cardinals squad sitting below .500 but still dangerous with veterans like Michael McGreevy taking the mound.

Seattle Mariners vs. St. Louis Cardinals preview
The Cardinals roll into Seattle nursing a disappointing 72-73 record, their playoff hopes hanging by a thread with time running out in a frustrating campaign.
St. Louis brings rookie Michael McGreevy to the mound, who's been solid with a 9-3 record and 4.03 ERA, but faces a stern test against a Mariners lineup that's struck out more than any team except two others this season.
Seattle sits in a much better spot at 76-68, though their own postseason aspirations depend on capitalizing on home games like this one at T-Mobile Park.
Logan Gilbert takes the ball for the Mariners with impressive career numbers - a 3.61 ERA and strong 4.87 strikeout-to-walk ratio that could exploit the Cardinals' struggles at the plate.
The Cardinals offense has been largely underwhelming, averaging just 4.3 runs per game and ranking 20th in baseball, while Seattle's pitching staff has been more reliable with a 4.00 team ERA.
This matchup could come down to which team's bullpen holds up better, as both clubs have had their share of late-inning struggles throughout the season.
