Seattle Mariners vs San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m on the over here. The Padres have been crushing right-handed pitching for the better part of the last month and I think they can get to Logan Gilbert here, who has been more than vulnerable this season. On the other side, the Mariners have been sluggish against right-handed pitching, but Mazur has not looked major league ready as he’s struggled giving up runs and he’s really struggled with control as well, giving up more walks than strikeouts this season. I think this one is made for some runs so give me the over.
