San Diego Padres vs Seattle Mariners

Location of the game: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA.

Date & Time: Tuesday, August 8. 9:40 pm ET

At 55-58, it has been a disappointing season for the Padres. In the last 10 San Diego Padres games, they have gone 6-4, but they have struggled on the road this year, going just 25-30.

All of that has led to the Padres sitting in fourth in the NL West, 11 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB standings. They are four games out of the last spot in the National League Wild Card.

Offensively, the Padres rank 13th out of all MLB teams in scoring, averaging 4.63 runs per game. They have been better on the road, though, averaging 5.02 runs.

Looking at the MLB schedule of the Seattle Mariners, they have been on a nice little roll, winning five in a row and eight of their last ten. At T-Mobile Park this year, they are 31-26.

In the MLB standings, the Mariners sit third in the AL West, six games out of first place. They sit just three MLB games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the last Wild Card spot.

The Seattle Mariners players haven’t been quite as potent on offense as the Padres. They rank 15th out of all MLB teams in scoring, averaging 4.56 runs per game. The Mariners do rank sixth in scoring defense, allowing opponents an average of just 4.14 runs per game.

Looking at the MLB injury report, San Diego has taken quite a hit to their pitching staff as they are without Joe Musgrove (shoulder), Michael Wacha (shoulder), Luis Garcia (elbow), and Drew Pomeranz (elbow).

The Mariners will be without outfielder Jarred Kelenic (foot) and pitcher Robbie Ray (shoulder).

It is always imperative to take a look at the day’s starters before making your Padres vs Mariners picks.

Having struggled recently, the Padres hope that 33-year-old righty Nick Martinez can give them a boost in Tuesday’s opener.

His MLB player stats show that he is 5-4 with a 3.68 ERA this season. He also has a 1.23 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 80.2 innings. 

Often working as either a reliever or an opener, Martinez has thrown six scoreless innings in his last three outings.

The Mariners have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last week, and they will look to 26-year-old Logan Gilbert to continue that trend Tuesday.

In 22 MLB games, he is 9-5 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and he has 126 strikeouts in 130.2 innings of work. In his last outing, Gilbert took a no-decision against the Boston Red Sox after allowing three earned runs over six innings.

• For our Padres vs Mariners picks, we will be taking the Padres at +1.5 (-160) on the spread in this one.

While San Diego has struggled as of late, there is still good value in taking them against Gilbert at T-Mobile Park. This season, Gilbert has been far more successful on the road (7-1, 3.22 ERA) than at home (2-4, 4.66 ERA).

Furthermore, the Padres are 6-3 in their last nine road games and 12-2 in their last 14 interleague games. While that may not be enough to overtake the Mariners, there is certainly good value in them keeping it close.

Also, don’t be afraid to take the over 8.5 runs in this one (-110). In seven of the last ten games these two have met, the over has hit. The over has also hit in four of the last five home games for the Mariners.
