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.
