Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

This total is too high. The Mariners’ offense has been offense has been a major issue, and it’s not going to get any better in this game. Oakland is going to get another quality start from Bido. For the Mariners, they send Gilbert, who gave up zero runs in his last start, and he’s going to dominate again here. Neither team is going to reach three runs here and this game is going to end up under the total.
