Mariners vs Pirates Prediction
The Mariners have won their last 6 meetings against the Pirates, having won their last two visits in Pittsburgh.
In this Mariners vs Pirates Prediction, the Pirates are coming as -120 home favorites. I like the Pirates in this one, as Braxton Ashcraft looks like a better option on the mound than Bryan Woo. Woo is coming off a shutout start but had given up 12 runs in his last two starts and has been bad on the road with a 1-5 record and 5.93 ERA. Ashcraft on the other hand, has given up two runs or less in five of his last six starts and the Pirates rank 6th against right-handed pitching in the last 10 days, while the Mariners are dead last. Take the Pirates.
