San Francisco Giants vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

The Seattle Mariners should be favored as they're at home and Luis Castillo is on the mound. The Giants aren't world beaters, and Hayden Birdsong has been tattooed in recent starts. The Mariners should win. However, the Mariners continue to struggle offensively and I want nothing to do with them. The Mariners don't score runs, and we've seen a long enough sample size to believe it's not going to change. This is all about fading the Mariners. Give me the Giants.
