San Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners by Tony T.

Game Summary

Seattle gets a major starting-pitching edge with Kirby, who owns a strong WHIP, low home-run rate and solid FIP. San Diego's offense will need to pressure him early and avoid falling behind in counts.

The Pick

Seattle is batting .231 with a .381 slugging percentage. Padres' bullpen in great recent form and figures to see plenty of action as Giolito makes his 2026 debut and missed the spring. Padres are 14-8 on the road with a +6.8-unit return. Seattle is 12-13 at home with a -7-unit loss. Play San Diego +140.
