Mariners at Athletics picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Athletics 3
Money line
Robbie Ray is a fly-balling port-sider who benefits from his home park. But night games at Oakland Coliseum fit the bill nearly as well.
Seattle is a decent play up to -220. PASS on the current price.
Run line/Against the spread
TAKE THE MARINERS -1.5 (-120).
Six of Oakland’s last 7 losses have been by multiple runs. Kaprielian is coming off 105 pitches in his last, and this could be setting up Oakland’s middle relief for a bit too much work in this game.
Over/Under
Crisscrossing signals here: TAKE A PASS AND LOOK ELSEWHERE.
