Probable pitchers Gilbert (Mariners) and Musgrove (Padres) have had solid results lately. Musgrove, an NL all star last season, is coming back from a toe injury and is rounding back into form. He has surrendered 0 and 1 earned runs in his last two starts. Gilbert has a WHIP of .98 and his ERA has been dropping in May. His last start against the hard hitting Yankees wasn’t great but the two before that were solid. Both pitchers should have success against hitters that are struggling. The Padres have hit .213 against RHP in their last 10 while the Mariners have only hit .197.

In terms of defense both teams have kept opponents’ OPS below .700. The Padres' bullpen has been solid, the Mariners', less so but Gilbert should last long enough to keep it from being an issue.

The Padres have been under 4 of their last 5 games, and Mariners have been under for 2 of their last 4. Both teams are near the bottom ¼ of the majors in avg and OPS. All of this should go together nicely to keep the total under on Tuesday night.
