The A’s should probably be favored with Irvin on the hill, as he’s been far and away the more consistent pitcher over somebody like Marco Gonzales. However, the Mariners are playing the more consistent baseball. The M’s are also a team I’ve mentioned weeks ago that they’re capable of a playoff push and they’re worth watching. I’ll continue to drive the bandwagon. Give me the Mariners and the plus money.
