The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have been rolling in their games lately as they just swept the Angels in their last series and are now 8 games over .500, putting themselves right back in the playoff conversation. The Padres have been struggling all season, they have been playing a lot better in their games lately as they are also trying to get back into the playoff conversation, but they are still under .500 on the season and have a long way to go after losing 3 of their 4 games against the Dodgers over the weekend. The Padres will also have Darvish on the mound here and even though he pitched well in his last start, he has been giving up a ton of runs in his starts all season and the Mariners offense has been getting really hot lately, they will take advantage of the scoring opportunities they get at home here. The Mariners are going with rookie Woo in this game and he has had a few shaky starts this season but lately he has been pitching a lot better in his starts and hasn't been giving up as many runs at home this year either. The Mariners have the momentum behind right now along with the hotter offense and better pitching matchup in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
