Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Mariners but are 1-4 in their last 5 meetings at home.
In this Mariners vs Athletics Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -140 road favorites. I like the A’s in a bounce-back spot today as they will be facing a struggling Bryce Miller, who has been in terrible form, having given up 4+ runs in five of his last six starts and has a 4.69 ERA on the road. On the flip side, Lopez has given up two runs or less in 10 of his last 11 starts and will face a Mariners offense that has been struggling against lefties all season long. Take the A’s in this one for plus money.
