Mariners vs Rockies Side and Over/Under Picks
The Rockies' offensive environment gives them some upset potential, but the gap between Woo and Hughes is difficult to overlook. Woo's command and 1.05 WHIP should limit Colorado's opportunities better than most visiting starters at Coors Field, while Seattle should have repeated scoring chances against Hughes and a struggling Rockies pitching staff. The preferred side is Mariners -1.5 (-118), and Over 10.5 (-110) is the total play.
- Run Line Pick: Mariners -1.5 (-118)
- Total Pick: Over 10.5 (-110)
Mariners vs Rockies Final Score Prediction
- Seattle Mariners: 8
- Colorado Rockies: 5
Woo's command should limit Colorado's opportunities better than most visiting starters at Coors Field, while Seattle's offense should find plenty of chances against Hughes and a Rockies pitching staff that has struggled all season.
