Padres vs Mariners Prediction

The Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Mariners but are 1-3 in their last 4 visits in Seattle.

In this Padres vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -140 home favorites. I’m on the Mariners in this one, as Hancock look good in his previous start against the Padres this season, unlike Vasquez. The Mariners have the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball and have been better against righties and Hancock has been better at home, so I expect them to get the job done today at home.
