CLEVELAND (0-0) AT SEATTLE (0-0)

SEATTLE (Interstat) — The Cleveland Guardians and Seattle Mariners will continue their opening series at T-Mobile Park on Friday night, with both clubs seeking their first win of the 2026 season after a scoreless opener.

The Guardians will send right-hander Gavin Williams to the mound. Seattle counters with fellow righty George Kirby in a matchup of projected aces.

Both lineups will look to generate early offense after being shut out in Thursday’s series opener, a pitching duel that left both teams at 0-0 to start the year. Cleveland’s most recent result was a 6-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers to conclude the 2025 regular season on Oct. 2. Seattle last played in the 2025 postseason, falling 4-3 to the Toronto Blue Jays in an American League Championship Series game on Oct. 20.

Despite the Mariners being installed as a -1.5 run favorite by sportsbooks, Interstat’s game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for the Guardians. The over/under for total runs is set at 7.5.

Following this three-game set, the Guardians embark on a challenging West Coast trip, heading to Los Angeles for a three-game series against the Dodgers beginning Monday. The Mariners will remain at home to host the New York Yankees for three games starting Monday.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. PDT.
