Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
Two teams that are relying heavily on the homer and have issues scoring at times when they’re not hitting them. Ginn has a 3.31 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 16.1 innings. Hancock has a 2.28 ERA and 0.76 WHIP through 23.2 innings. Small sample sizes overall but both pitchers are dealing out of the gate and don’t allow much traffic. Instead of figuring out which team is going to show up, I’ll lean toward the under in this spot. Give me a pitchers’ duel in Seattle on Monday night.
