Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
I’m on the Athletics here. Initially it was supposed to be Bryan Woo for the Mariners, but I still liked the Athletics even if it was because Woo has been a solid option for the Mariners. However, the Athletics have been able to get to him twice this season for five runs on separate occasions, and that’s been a big deal. The A’s in my eyes are playing some of their best baseball of the season, too. So I’ll roll with the A’s in this one.
