Woo got torched for 7 runs in 3 innings against the Cardinals on April 25, then gave up 6 more over 6 innings to the Royals on May 1 — back-to-back starts of 6+ earned runs for the first time in his career. The 4.61 ERA is doing him a small favor at this point. He's been pumping strikes; the strikes have been getting pumped right back.
Martín Pérez, meanwhile, is the most interesting man on the Atlanta staff right now. He got DFA'd last weekend, hit free agency, re-signed on a minor-league deal, and was right back in the rotation by Friday — where he proceeded to throw 6 scoreless at the Phillies in a 9-0 win. The 2.22 ERA is real. He has earned the right to keep getting the ball.
The market has Seattle at -130 and -1.5, which is a vote for the home pitching environment over the actual pitching matchup on the card. EV is negative on every side here — no free money — and the public is split, with sharp handle leaning Atlanta moneyline (87% of handle, 64% of bets) and Under 8.5 (71% handle). That's a fade-the-public-totals look if you're squinting.

Atlanta's IL list is brutal on paper — Acuña, Schwellenbach, Waldrep, Smith-Shawver, Profar suspended for the year — and the team keeps winning anyway. That's the scary part for Seattle. The Mariners are missing Brendan Donovan, Bryce Miller, Victor Robles and a chunk of their bullpen, and they don't have the offensive depth to absorb it the way Atlanta has. First pitch 3:10 PM local. Woo needs a stopper start. Pérez looks like the wrong guy to give it to him against.
