Giants vs. Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under here. I just see Blake Snell and George Kirby and my mind immediately shifts towards a pitcher’s duel. Kirby’s pitched his best ball at home at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile, and Snell is on another level in a lot of his recent outings. All in all, this feels like a first to 3 wins kind of game, so give me the under here.
