The Padres visit Seattle for a high-stakes clash with Luis Castillo squaring off against Dylan Cease. Seattle dominates SD this season 4-0 and Cal Raleigh just posted his 50th homer, sparking a potent Mariners offense. San Diego aims to rebound after back-to-back losses as Seattle seeks more momentum in a tight standings battle. Latest lines tilt Seattle as the slight favorite with a 7-run total and a 1.5-run spread in play.

From a fantasy-betting view, Cease carries a 4.71 ERA this year while Castillo sits at 3.57. Cease’s last start hinted at inconsistency, whereas Castillo has been more dependable. Raleigh’s power gives SEA upside in DFS, while SD’s bats will need strong contact to exploit Castillo. Model projections pair this with a lean toward Seattle and a flyer on the over given the 7.0 line.

Expect a competitive night with bullpen usage as a potential separator. The game setting at T-Mobile Park adds hitter-friendly dynamics, so rostering a Mariners stack or a contrarian Padres exposure that leverages late-game leverage could pay off for savvy fantasy players and bettors alike.
