                        Mariners vs. Orioles prediction, odds: 2026 MLB picks for Monday, June 8, by proven model
Computer simulation favours over 9 runs in Monday night MLB matchup

SportsLine’s computer model has released predictions for the Major League Baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, June 8, 2026. The model projects the combined runs to go over the 9-run line, with a projected total of 10.1 runs. The match takes place at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET. The Mariners (34-32) are visiting the Orioles (31-35).

The Mariners are listed as -129 favourites on the money line. Specific player projections include over 1.8 total bases for Mariners players Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez, Brendan Donovan, and Dominic Canzone, and over 1.5 total bases for Orioles players Gunnar Henderson and Pete Alonso. The model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and is currently on a 17-5 run (77%) on all top-rated MLB picks in Week 11 of the season.

Both teams enter the contest seeking to reverse recent momentum. The Mariners are coming off a 5-4 loss at Detroit, while the Orioles dropped a 6-4 decision at Toronto on Sunday. Seattle has lost three of its past four games and sits at 15-16 on the road this season. Baltimore has lost two games in a row but holds a 19-15 record at home in 2026.

Historical data suggests offensive output is likely. The Over has hit in four of the past five Seattle games and seven of the last 10 Baltimore games. Additionally, the Over is 8-2 in the last Baltimore games in which Chris Bassitt starts. The Orioles lead the all-time series 247-213, including five of the past six meetings.

The SportsLine Projection Model returned nearly 30 units of profit on home run prop picks in 2025. It projects the Over to hit 60% of the time in this specific matchup. The model’s analysis focuses on institutional performance metrics rather than individual player narratives, providing a data-driven outlook for the Monday night fixture.
