The Seattle Mariners head into San Diego as slight road favorites, but this is a strong spot behind their ace. Even though the game is at Petco Park, the Mariners hold a clear pitching advantage with Luis Castillo taking the mound against Walker Buehler. Castillo remains one of baseball’s premier strikeout arms, while Buehler has struggled with inconsistency and a higher ERA early this season.
Seattle also showed offensive life recently, and with Castillo likely to control the tempo, they can neutralize a hot Padres lineup. Superior starting pitching gives the Mariners the edge to steal one on the road.
