Padres vs Mariners Prediction

We were on the Padres yesterday and there’s no reason to stop now. This team simply has some magic to them and the wins keep piling up. Last night’s win only adds to the confidence and it’s also going to be tough for the Mariners to get off the canvas after such a loss. Castillo was horrible in his last outing and it’s hard to get behind a 6.92 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 13 innings. Another bad start or two and we might have to have a tough conversation about Castillo. Either way, I’m not stepping in front of this Padres team that’s sprinkled with fairy dust or whatever. Give me the Padres.
