Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 9/20/21

The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics meet Monday in MLB action at Oakland Coliseum. The Mariners look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Athletics look to build on their five-game winning streak. 

The Seattle Mariners have scored 14 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last seven games. The Mariners have won 10 of their last 14 games when scoring four or more runs. Ty France leads the Mariners with 154 hits and 63 RBI while J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger have combined for 292 hits and 132 RBI. Tyler Anderson gets the ball, and he is 6-9 with a 4.14 ERA and 125 strikeouts this season. This will be Anderson’s second career game against the Athletics.

The Oakland Athletics have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last nine games. The Athletics have won five of their last seven games when scoring four or more runs. Matt Olson leads the Athletics with 143 hits and 103 RBI while Elvis Andrus and Mark Canha have combined for 228 hits and 93 RBI. The Oakland Athletics didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.

The Mariners are 7-2 in their last 9 Monday games and 9-3 in their last 12 road games. The Athletics are 2-5 in their last 7 Monday games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The over is 12-3-1 in Mariners last 16 overall. The under is 5-2-1 in Athletics last 8 home games. The Mariners are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Oakland and 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.

This is going to be a key series for both teams, as the Mariners and A’s are fighting for a wild card spot. Anderson has been hit or miss all season and he’s had his main struggles on the road where he has a 4.93 ERA and .258 allowed batting average. The A’s are coming off a red hot week and are closer in the wild card standings, so you should get a confident bunch. Even without knowing who the pitcher is going to be, I lean toward the Athletics at home.
