The Seattle Mariners will look to complete a series sweep as they host the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon.

Seattle profiles well against New York starter Freddy Peralta, which is why I’m taking the home team to bring out the brooms in my Mets vs. Mariners predictions below.

Read on for more analysis and to get my free MLB picks for Wednesday, June 3.

Who will win Mets vs Mariners today: Mariners moneyline (-138)

The Seattle Mariners should be able to get another win behind George Kirby this afternoon. Kirby has an outstanding chase rate of 35.8% in 2026, which will play well against a New York Mets lineup chasing out of the zone 31.4% of the time.

Freddy Peralta has labored over his last four starts, putting up an ERA of 4.37 and a 1.54 WHIP in 22.2 innings of work. The Mariners' lineup has a .757 OPS against righties this season, and should hit Peralta hard. I’m taking Seattle to win as long as I can get at least a -150 payout.

Covers COVERS INTEL:  The Mariners are getting around on four-seam fastballs this year, pulling them in the air 21.3% of the time against righties. That’s a pitch Peralta throws 54% of the time.

Mets vs Mariners Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (+113)

While Kirby should get the best of the Mets this afternoon, there are reasons to expect they’ll put up a little offense. New York has scored at least two runs in eight straight games, and Kirby is going through a rough patch, posting a 6.88 ERA over his last three starts.

If the Mets can post a couple of runs, I’m confident that Seattle will handle the rest of the total against Peralta, who is posting the worst hard-hit percentage (39.6%) and strikeout rate (23.9%) of his career so far in 2026. I’m backing the Over at even money or better.

He graduated from Syracuse University with degrees in Magazine Journalism and Political Science in 2003, and has covered major gambling events like the World Series of Poker in his career. Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport.

His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

Outside of gambling, Ed is an avid curler who competes in mixed doubles on the World Curling Tour and runs a popular curling YouTube channel, Chess on Ice. That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. 

Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.
