The Seattle Mariners need a win after losing six of their last seven games. The Mariners have scored 10 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last eight games. The Mariners have lost 10 of their last 11 games when scoring three or less runs. Mitch Haniger leads the Mariners with 45 hits and 31 RBI while Kyle Seager and JP Crawford have combined for 78 hits and 44 RBI. Logan Gilbert gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 9.45 ERA and seven strikeouts this season. This will be Gilbert’s first career game against the Athletics.

The Mariners are 25-52 in their last 77 during game 2 of a series and 14-37 in their last 51 Tuesday games. The Athletics are 6-1 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 9-4 in their last 13 during game 2 of a series. The over is 3-0-1 in Mariners last 4 overall. The over is 7-1 in Athletics last 8 overall. The Mariners are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Oakland.
Logan Gilbert has the ability to be a promising piece on the Mariners staff, but he hasn’t looked good in limited reps and going up against this A’s offense on the road likely won’t help. The Oakland Athletics haven’t been winning lately, but the offense continues to produce and things will turn around eventually with this being the case. The Seattle Mariners also don’t string together wins. Give me the A’s and the reasonable price at home.
