Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

The Seattle Mariners have their issues they need to figure out, but they’re at home and should win this game. Bryce Miller has been sharp this season, and he’s done his best work by far at home. Joey Estes will make his season debut, and he’s been absolutely awful in Triple-A this season. It’s hard to believe he’s going to figure things out against a higher level of competition. This is a spot for the Mariners to have an offensive breakthrough. Give me the Mariners and the RL for max betting value.
