In this article, we will formulate a Mariners vs Athletics prediction for this MLB game on Sunday, March 30th, at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Athletics Betting Preview

The Athletics ended the last season with a 69-93 record and in the 4th place in the AL West, with six wins over the Los Angeles Angels and 19 behind the Houston Astros. The A’s lost the opening game of the series to the Mariners but then responded with a pair of victories, defeating Seattle 7-0 and 4-2.

Last season, the Athletics averaged 3.97 runs per game (26th in the MLB) on a .233/.301/.393 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Athletics’ staff had a 4.72 ERA (25th) and 1.33 WHIP (25th). Tyler Soderstrom leads the A’s with a .417 batting average, two home runs, and three RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Athletics is JP Sears, who went 11-13 with a 4.38 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 180.2 innings pitched in 2024.

Seattle Mariners Betting Preview

The Seattle Mariners were really unlucky last season after finishing with an 85-77 record, just a win behind the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals, missing the playoffs as a result. The Mariners opened this season with a 4-2 win over the A’s, but surprisingly, lost the next two games, scoring just two runs in the process.

Last year, the Mariners averaged 4.17 runs per game (21st in the MLB) on a .224/.311/.376 slash line. The Mariners’ pitching staff had a 3.75 ERA (1st) and 1.08 WHIP (1st). Cal Raleigh was the best offensive player for the Mariners, with a .220 batting average, 34 home runs, and 100 RBI last season.

Bryan Woo will take the mound for the Mariners on Sunday. The 25-year-old right-hander had a 9-3 record in 2024 with a 2.89 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 121.1 innings.

  • The Mariners have won each of their last eight Sunday day home games against AL West opponents.
  • The Athletics have failed to cover the run line in each of their last eight Sunday games against AL West opponents.

  • The Athletics have trailed after 5 innings in six of their last seven day games.
  • The Mariners have led after 3 innings in three of their last four games against AL West opponents that held a winning record.

Mariners vs Athletics Prediction

The Mariners won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including six of the last eight, but the A’s were better in the past two. Bryan Woo has been phenomenal against the Athletics so far in his career, allowing just two RBI on 12 hits in 72 at-bats and with .167 BA. In four starts against the A’s last season, Woo recorded three wins and a 0.89 ERA over 20.1 innings, while JP Sears had a 0-3 record in three starts against the Mariners with a 4.50 ERA. Seattle has a pitching advantage in this one, and I am backing the hosts to tie the series with a comfortable win.
