The Mariners have the pitching edge with Hancock on the mound, who has given up two runs or less in four of his last five games, while Severino has been weaker at home, with a 5.55 home ERA. The Mariners have the better bullpen and are better against right-handed pitching than the A’s, so I expect them to keep rolling and win this one as well.
