San Diego Padres vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

This should be a fun game between two contenders out west and both Vasquez and Hancock are having strong seasons. I’m rolling with the Mariners at home, as they’ve played some of their better baseball over the last week or so and Hancock has been even better at home through 23 innings, where he has a 2.74 ERA and .210 allowed batting average. I like the direction the Mariners are heading, as they’re slowly but surely looking like the WS contender we expected to see from the start. Give me the Mariners.
