The Giants are entering this series on a 2 game losing streak and lost their 3-game series against the New York Mets 2-1 in their last series.

In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 0 BB with 3 strikeouts on 6 hits through 5 innings played against the New York Mets.

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants have been rolling this season but lately they have been sliding down the standings a bit and need to stop the bleeding with a series win. The Mariners are starting to play a lot better now with their offense getting hot too but they have still struggled for most of the season and the Giants can take advantage of this pitching matchup to get a much needed win at home here. The Giants are going with Cobb in this game and he has been a solid starter for them all season. He was good in his last start and hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts lately, especially his home starts. The Mariners have Milone starting here though and he hasn't been bad but he has also only made 1 appearance in the MLB this year and that was back in April. The Giants offense has been one of the best in the league this season too so Milone will struggle in this road start as the Giants look to get a much needed win at home which will hopefully spark another big run for them. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to win this game.
