In this Mariners vs Athletics Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -130 road favorites. The Mariners dominate this series with a combined 13-3 score and are putting Gilbert on the mound, who has been excellent on the road and coming off back-to-back shutout starts outside Seattle. The Mariners also have a superior bullpen and will face Jeffrey Springs who has been weaker at home, so I expect them to keep rolling and finish the series sweep.
