Shane’s Free Pick

The Mariners have struggled in games that Castillo has pitched in against winning teams and it’s going to be no different in this game. The Pirates offense is going to run up the score here, and the Mariners like on Friday night are going to have some major issues keeping up. Back the Pirates on the money line.
