Padres vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 71-61 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL West. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 40-26 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Padres have looked really good in their games this season with their 74-58 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL West and in the division race. They haven't been a good road team though with their 31-36 road record this year. The Mariners haven't looked great lately, going 4-6 in their last 10 games, but they took the 1st game of this series and they do have the better pitching matchup to take advantage of here. The Mariners are going with Woo in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 11-7 with a 2.94 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He is coming off another good start in which he only gave up 1 earned run and the team has had a lot of success with him lately too, winning 3 of their last 4 games with him starting. The Padres are going with Darvish in this one and he hasn't looked good this season. He is 3-3 with a 5.36 ERA and has been giving up quite a few runs in his starts. The team has won 4 of their last 5 games with him starting and he only gave up 1 earned run in his last start, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year as he has been really up and down since coming back from his injury. The Mariners also have the better offense to win this game at home and they have been rolling lately too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“That would be huge. But, again, I love his at-bats. I love what he’s doing. His swing decisions have been elite almost all year.” - Mike Shildt on Tatis Jr after his team’s loss against the Mariners in their game on Monday. 


“I think everybody can tell you in there they're probably a little tired. I mean, that's just how it is. It's part of the season. Bodies weren't meant to go through a full 162 like this. But I feel good. I feel strong. I've been keeping my routine pretty much the same all year, and that's been a big component to staying healthy.” - Cal Raleigh after their win against the Padres in their game on Monday.
