Seattle Mariners vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

You can make a case for the Mariners or Reds, as they’re both putting together strong weeks. The difference here is the Reds are at home with the quick turnaround which is a key advantage. Also, Hancock hasn’t been great in 16 starts, and he was tattooed in 0.2 innings this season. Singer is the more trustworthy pitcher given the larger sample size, and he’s allowed six earned runs in 17 innings this season while averaging a strikeout per inning. The price is cheap. Give me the Reds.
