Athletics vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners still have issues finishing games here and there, and last night wasn’t great. It could be tough to rebound from such efforts. Hancock also hasn’t been great this season, allowing 26 hits and 13 runs in 17.2 innings. Yes, Hancock has been better lately, but he still has an ERA over five for his career in 19 starts. The Athletics continue to play surprising baseball, which includes wins in 10 of their last 13 games. Wins like last night only add to the confidence in the clubhouse.
Springs has been hittable all season, but he’s coming off six shutout innings against the Rangers. I’m not sure how long this run will last, but the Athletics have this feel-good mojo going, and I’m going to ride that as long as it lasts.
