San Diego Padres vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
You can make a case for the Padres and the plus money based on their team success, but I can’t get there with Buehler on the bump. Through 36.1 innings, Buehler has a 5.20 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 12 walks. Gilbert has had issues keeping the ball in the park, but through 50 innings, he has a 3.78 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He’s averaging more than a strikeout per inning. The Mariners have the edge on the mound and they’re usually at their best at home. Give me the M’s and the reasonable price.
