We’re back with another betting prediction and pick for Friday’s slate of MLB action as we head to the Pacific Northwest for the only season series between these two squads. The Miami Marlins will take on the Seattle Mariners as both teams come in following wins in their previous series.

The Cubs appeared poised to land former Marlins' starter Jesus Luzardo this offseason before trade talks suddenly ended.

So the Marlins instead traded Luzardo and prospect Paul McIntosh to the Philadelphia Phillies for prospects Starlyn Caba and outfielder Emaarion Boyd. He's been fantastic in Philly, going 2-0 in five starts with a 2.

The lefty, who was later dealt by the Marlins to the Phillies, will face the Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field.
