ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’ll take a stab on the Mariners here but the line’s probably too thick to mess with. Woo could use a bounce-back start as well. In his last outing versus Cincinnati, Woo took the loss with five earned in 5.0 innings. Prior to that however, Woo was 1-0 over two starts with just one earned in 10.0 frames. Looking at Sandoval’s last pair, he’s given up nine earned in 8.2 frames total on 12 hits and seven walks. In the Monday game the Mariners didn’t get a ton of offensive output outside of Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh (two hits; two RBI; homer), wasting a solid effort from starter Logan Gilbert—7.0 innings and three earned. The Mariners have scored three or more runs in four straight games though, so I’ve got to think the offense will carry Seattle in a bounce-back during game two.
