Was waiting on lineups -- need something for second screen opposite second half of Vikings-Bears don't I? I'd probably play Bryan Woo to simply win most times, but Mr. Six Innings all of a sudden isn't: B2B outings of less than 6 IP. But Woo has been a lot better at home. The Cards are playing out the string and Miles Mikolas has a 6.79 ERA on the road. That STL lineup looks very weak due to injury and suspension (Willson Contreras).
The Seattle Mariners probably did not want their series to end against the Atlanta Braves. Over their last twelve innings they scored twenty six runs. While that was a huge outburst of production at the plate, it doesn’t take away that the Mariners were 1-6 their prior seven games. Look for Bryan Woo to do his part, and Miles Mikolas to do enough to keep the Mariners at bay. Take the under.
DraftKings. Bryan Woo has been electric at home this season, pitching to a 2.35 ERA. He’s won eight of his 12 starts at T-Mobile Park, and I see him continuing on that trend tonight. The Cardinals offense has plummeted while battling a litany of injuries - over the last month, St. Louis has a .617 OPS and 75 wRC+ against righties. The Mariners are in the top nine of both metrics, and will face Miles Mikolas, who has a 6.79 ERA on the road this season.
The Mariners just outscored the Braves by a count of 28-4 over the last two games. They had been awful before that for a stretch, but I like the happy flight before this pitching matchup in Seattle, where the Mariners are 41-27. M's starter Bryan Woo has a 2.35 home ERA while Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas has a 6.79 road ERA.
