Jensen recommended betting Bryan Woo Over 6.5 strikeouts at ‑120. Woo has punched out 55 hitters in 57.2 innings (almost one per inning) with elite command—just eight walks and a 0.87 WHIP. He fanned eight Astros over six innings in their last meeting, and Houston’s lineup, while disciplined, still whiffs at a league-average clip. Woo’s efficiency allows him to work deep—seven of his last eight outings have lasted six or more frames—giving him plenty of pitch count runway to clear the number.

Razzle labeled Bryan Woo a core play. The right-hander owns the best win odds on the five-gamer (+110) and a 5.5 strikeout prop (pick-em). Oakland provides plenty of Ks, and Woo has largely neutralized the home-run ball. Seattle lets him push toward 90–95 pitches, giving a realistic path to six innings and a quality start bonus on DraftKings. With the game total at 9 but juiced to the over largely because of the A’s bullpen and Mariners bats, Razzle trusts Woo’s skills to rise above the environment.

Rosenberg sided with the Rhythm model and took Bryan Woo under 18.5 pitching outs. Even though Woo has been "lightning lately," Rosenberg argued the number is mis-priced: books are asking for a full seven innings despite manager Scott Servais limiting Woo to 90 pitches or fewer in five of six starts since his IL stint. Oakland’s lineup is weak, but that only increases the chance Seattle protects its young arm rather than pushing him deep in a game they should control. Laying heavy juice on the under wasn’t attractive in straight markets, so Rosenberg slotted the play into their Underdog Fantasy entry to keep exposure without eating −200 vigorish.

Just A Bet Outside laid out a first-five-innings play on the Mariners –0.5 run line at –110. His confidence is rooted in Bryan Woo’s superb 2024 profile: an 0.83 WHIP, 2.44 xERA, only 5.9 hits per 9, a 4.8 % walk rate, and 8-plus strikeouts in each of his last two outings. Woo has allowed more than three earned runs just once all season and even held Texas to one hit his last time out. On the other side is rookie Gunner Hoglund, whose lone MLB start came against Miami (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H) and whose 3.89 minor-league ERA and sub-1 K per inning rate suggest merely average stuff. Seattle owns MLB’s No. 1 offense versus right-handed pitching over the past three weeks, including the top walk rate, while Oakland is merely Top-10. Both bullpens are “pretty exhausted” after back-to-back games, so Stephen prefers to isolate the starting-pitcher edge. With the superior arm and slightly better lineup, he advised grabbing Seattle to be leading after five.

Razzle prefers Bryan Woo over Jack Leiter. Woo has cut his walks, kept the ball in the park, and owns a 5.5 K prop at even money. Seattle sits as a slight –115 favorite while Texas bats have cooled—recently being shut down for multiple games by Oakland pitching. Razzle projects six solid innings and a path to 20+ DK points at sub-15% ownership.

Drew Martin also advised taking Bryan Woo’s strikeout prop over despite Boston’s hot bats. Woo owns back-to-back seven-inning gems and regularly touches 96-98 mph. With Seattle’s bullpen scuffling, Martin expects manager Scott Servais to let the 25-year-old work deep into the matinee. Boston’s offense is top-5 in wRC+ over the past week, but that aggressiveness creates swing-and-miss upside. Martin believes Woo’s big fastball and workload projection position him to eclipse the yet-to-be-posted K total and recommends grabbing the over as soon as the market opens.

Kenny G gave a small but actionable lean to Seattle at –115, hinging on the starting‑pitching gap. Bryan Woo is 2‑0 with a 2.84 ERA and is coming off seven innings of one‑run, seven‑strikeout ball against Texas. Bowden Francis counters with a 3.71 ERA but just served up two homers and five total runs (three earned) to Baltimore in 5.2 frames. The Mariners lineup is heating up—11, 6, 4, 3 and 9 runs their past five games—while Toronto sits only 15th in runs despite ranking top‑6 in average and OBP, suggesting sequencing luck that may not flip against Woo’s plus command. Bullpens are essentially a wash (Seattle 3.71, Toronto 3.48), and the Jays’ offense has been far less explosive against righties with a slider/cutter mix similar to Woo’s. Kenny trusts the better arm and the hotter sticks, pricing Seattle closer to –125.

Reichel leaned to the Under 8.0 in Seattle‑Toronto despite the Mariners erupting for 11 runs Thursday. He praised Bryan Woo’s early 2.84 ERA and 30% strikeout rate and noted Bowden Francis’ lone Rogers Centre start produced six innings of two‑run ball. Seattle’s lineup sits bottom‑six in wRC+ and has been wildly inconsistent, while Toronto’s offense is merely league‑average versus righties (102 wRC+). Both clubs boast top‑10 bullpens in K‑BB%, further suppressing late offense. Reichel is willing to dare the M’s to post another crooked number, projecting a 4‑3 type contest and making the Under his play.

Mal Bamford recommended betting overs (7.5 total) for the Mariners versus Reds matchup, citing Bryan Woo's struggles on the road this season, particularly noting Woo had a rough outing in his lone road start at San Francisco. Last season Woo posted notably worse ERA numbers away from home, over three-quarters of a run per game higher. Additionally, Reds starter Brady Singer has been inconsistent and has received abundant run support in his games, with the Reds scoring 30 runs combined in his three starts this season. Lonte Smith has previously cited signs of improvement in the Reds' offense, further boosting confidence in the over.

Drew Martin advised betting on the Seattle Mariners against the Reds based on several factors. The Mariners' offense ranks as a top-five lineup over the past week, compared to the Reds, who rank 25th in Team OPS over the same period and have struggled significantly against right-handed pitching. Drew expressed confidence in Mariners starter Bryan Woo, highlighting Woo's strong recent outing against the Rangers (7 innings, just one earned run). Conversely, Drew pointed out Reds pitcher Brady Singer has struggled recently, allowing three earned runs in just five innings each of his last two starts, despite a misleading 3-0 win-loss record. Given these factors, Drew likes betting the Mariners at a favorable low price of minus 117.

Daniel Vreeland likes Bryan Woo's performance early in games as a reason to bet on NRFI (No Run First Inning) against the Texas Rangers. He noted that Texas has struggled offensively, ranking just 27th in MLB in runs per game, scoring in their first inning in only one of their previous five games. Woo has proven he can consistently pitch clean innings early, keeping opponents scoreless through three innings in both his outings this season. Vreeland believes Woo will comfortably record the necessary first inning outs to secure the NRFI bet.

Kenny G strongly advises backing the Mariners (-142) to win at home against the Texas Rangers, mainly due to the continued promising pitching performances from Bryan Woo (1-0, 3.75 ERA). Woo performed impressively last year before injury, started excellently this season versus Oakland, and managed a respectable outing vs. a strong Giants team (six innings, four earned runs). Meanwhile, Rangers' Kumar Rocker struggled previously against the Reds and boasts a concerning ERA at 7.88 despite bouncing back recently vs Tampa. Kenny highlights Seattle's improving bullpen (down to 3.11 ERA) and Texas' relatively pedestrian offense as additional strengths, adding confidence in the Mariners, despite slightly steep moneyline odds.

Scott Reichel identified Seattle Mariners first five innings wager as a strong bet considering a favorable pitching matchup. He notes Bryan Woo, despite his struggles against the Giants in his last outing, pitched impressively in his only home start this season—allowing just one run and three hits over six innings against Oakland. Conversely, Rangers' Kumar Rocker was poor in his only road start, conceding six runs over three innings against Cincinnati earlier. Reichel emphasizes Woo's greater reliability and stability compared to Rocker's inconsistency and inability to consistently generate strikeouts, making this first five innings bet appealing despite Seattle's general offensive inconsistency.

Cash Out Sports Picks recommended betting the Mariners Money Line due to a notable pitching mismatch favoring Seattle. Bryan Woo is off to an impressive start with a WHIP under 1.00 and 11 strikeouts over two starts, continuing his strong home track record from last season (6-1 with a 2.47 ERA at T-Mobile Park). Conversely, Texas starter Kumar Rocker has struggled significantly, failing to pitch beyond four innings in either of his first two starts and managing just four strikeouts total this season. The bullpen contrast further leans towards Seattle, ranking eighth in the MLB with a 3.11 ERA compared to Texas's bullpen sitting 19th with a 4.13 ERA. With the Rangers struggling offensively, batting only .200 as a team, the conditions strongly support backing Woo and the Mariners.

Guy Boston recommended betting Seattle as a plus-money underdog against San Francisco, primarily based on confidence in Brian Woo. Woo boasts great underlying numbers against Giants hitters (3.5% walk rate, 28% strikeout rate, .148 BA, .205 wOBA in 28 plate appearances). Despite Seattle historically struggling offensively (recently losing consecutive 10-9 games), he expects Woo to deliver a strong start at home, giving the Mariners good value. Additionally, Guy suggested a Nerfee bet thanks to Seattle's weak offense and Woo's strength matched-up versus Giants batters, plus Jordan Hicks's splits favorably limiting Seattle's predominantly right-handed lineup early in the game.

JD Bets endorsed betting Bryan Woo over 5.5 strikeouts against the Oakland Athletics, primarily due to Oakland's exceptionally high team strikeout rate last season. He noted Woo's propensity for strikeouts grew stronger as last year progressed, creating a favorable scenario against a strikeout-prone A's lineup. JD confidently recommended this play based on Oakland’s historically poor contact metrics.

Bettor Mark recommended a same-game parlay involving Brian Wu’s strikeouts (four or five if looking for added risk) and the Mariners' money line versus the Athletics. He explained this approach as maximizing value, turning the unattractive -165 money line into near-even odds. Mark noted his confidence in Wu, calling him 'one of my favorite pitchers' and highlighting Seattle’s need to bounce back and split their four-game series against Oakland.
