Seattle Mariners vs San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m on the Padres here. King vs. Woo is a great pitching matchup as King’s pitched better on the road and Woo’s been outstanding at home. The difference for me though is what the problem for the Mariners has been all along. Woo can pitch as well as he wants, but if the offense doesn’t show up like we saw against San Diego on Tuesday, it’s a moot point. The Padres are the much more consistent team right now and I think they snag the win. Give me the Padres.
