The Milwaukee Brewers (59-40) face the Seattle Mariners (53-46) in the opener of a 3-game set Monday. First pitch from T-Mobile Park in Seattle is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Brewers vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Brewers won 2-1 last year

The Brew Crew is one potent Double IPA right now — winners of 10 straight after sweeping the mighty LA Dodgers on the road over the weekend. The Brewers won 6-5 Sunday as they took advantage of some sloppy defense. Every starter had a hit as the team racked up 11 in total. OF Isaac Collins went 2-for-5 with 2 RBIs.

The M’s had their 5-game winning streak snapped with an 11-3 loss to the Houston Astros Sunday. The Mariners’ pitchers were masochists, as they encouraged opposing batters to readily hit them — giving up 11 runs on 13 hits. The M’s had 10 hits of their own but managed just 3 runs, marking the first time in 7 games they scored fewer than 4.

Brewers 6, Mariners 3

The M’s are good at home, and they’ve been playing well. So I’m not going to entertain Milwaukee’s RL. I am a fan of the BREWERS (-105) at that price, though. Woodruff has yet to walk a batter and has struck out 18 over 10 1/3 innings since returning from shoulder surgery.

That brings me to GIVE ME BRANDON WOODRUFF OVER 5.5 K’S (-160). The M’s are the fourth-easiest to whiff in the sport. There’s a 10% boost in some BetMGM accounts that brings this down to -146.

This number is too low for me. The wind is blowing out at 5 mph to straightaway center. The Mariners are 8-1-1 O/U in their last 10, and the Brewers are 6-4.

Give me the OVER 7 (-105).
