Padres vs. Mariners Prediction

I’m on the Padres here. I just trust San Diego’s lineup a heck of a lot more in this spot, and I think that San Diego can get it done here. It’s still a bit nerve-racking considering that you don’t really know what you’re going to see from Darvish in only his second major league start back, but the Mariners offensively continue to be so hit and miss and I just think that in the end, the Padres’ consistency shines through here and helps them get a big win. Give me San Diego.
