Cleveland Guardians vs Seattle Mariners — Mar 29, 2026 | AI Prediction & Stats

Bryan Woo’s elite command and swing-and-miss stuff should control the early frames. Expect him to lean on his four-seamer/cutter mix to neutralize Cleveland’s left-handed bats, forcing José Ramírez and Steven Kwan to hit the ball on the ground. Joey Cantillo has a solid change-up, but Seattle’s predominantly right-handed thump (Rodríguez, Arozarena, Garver, Raleigh) profiles well against a lefty who can struggle when he falls behind in counts. Seattle strikes first in the second inning when Dominic Canzone stays hot and drives a two-run double. Cantillo settles briefly, but a Brendan Donovan homer in the fourth and a crooked number in the sixth—sparked by Julio Rodríguez legging out an infield hit and Randy Arozarena ripping a gapper—push the lead to 5-2, ending Cantillo’s night. Woo works into the seventh with eight strikeouts and one walk, surrendering single tallies on a Rhys Hoskins RBI double in the third and a Chase DeLauter solo shot in the sixth. The Mariners’ back-end trio of Matt Brash, Gabe Speier in a left-on-left pocket, and Andrés Muñoz slams the door despite a ninth-inning José Ramírez RBI ground-rule double that trims the margin to 6-3. Key factors: • Woo’s WHIP under 1.00 gives Seattle a decisive starting-pitching edge. • Mariners hitters own a .520 SLG off left-handed pitching through two games; Cantillo’s 1.26 WHIP suggests traffic. • Cleveland’s bullpen is short on high-leverage arms after using Holderman and Smith on consecutive days, while Seattle’s Muñoz is fresh. Result: Mariners 6, Guardians 3—Seattle captures the rubber game and heads into the next series 2-1.
