Mariners Gear Up for Series Finale Against A's with Woo Leading the Way

Hoglund exhibited a strong performance during his debut in Miami last week, however, the Mariners will now have access to MLB film to analyze his pitching techniques. Furthermore, the Mariners have selected Bryan Woo, their most reliable pitcher in 2025, to start in the upcoming series finale. Woo boasts an impressive 0.83 WHIP this season, having only allowed 25 hits in 38.1 innings of play. The Mariners have shown exceptional daytime performance with a record of 11-3 so far this season, indicating their ability to excel during day games. Anticipated strategy involves working the pitch count against the rookie pitcher in order to exhaust him and reach the A's bullpen. With Woo expected to pitch effectively into the 7th inning, it is advisable to bet on the Mariners winning the game.
