Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Mariners but are 1-3 in their last 4 meetings at home.
In this Mariners vs Athletics Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -170 home favorites. The Mariners are falling off the wild card race fast and I don’t trust Woo on the road, where he has a 3-8 record and 5.62 ERA. Jump has also been in bad shape and terrible at home with a 5.62 ERA and the A’s have the worst bullpen in baseball, so I expect another high-scoring affair. Both teams are 14-5-1 to the over in their last 20 games combined, winds are blowing out at 10-16 mph and this is a hitter-friendly park. Take the over 9.5 in this one.
