Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
The Oakland Athletics could come out flat after just playing their last series in Oakland and now traveling to play a meaningless series on the road. However, I have no idea what to expect from the Seattle Mariners, who were just bounced from playoff contention. This series means nothing, and it’s probably why the Mariners haven’t announced a starting pitcher yet. The value will be with the Athletics and the plus money, especially with JP Sears pitching well on the road this season.
