The Seattle Mariners (35-28) and Oakland A’s (25-38) conclude their 3-game series Thursday. First pitch from Oakland Coliseum is slated for 3:37 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. A’s odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Mariners lead 3-2
The Mariners could not get anything going offensively until a 9th inning solo shot from CF Julio Rodriguez and lost 2-1 to the A’s on Wednesday. RHP Logan Gilbert was the hard luck loser (7 IP, 2 R 1 ER, 5 H, 0 BB 5 K). The loss snapped a 4-game winning streak for Seattle.
The A’s got a brilliant effort from starting RHP Joey Estes. The 22-year-old struck out 5 in 6 1/3 IP of 1-hit ball while 2B Zack Gelof had a solo HR. Oakland is looking to end a 3-series losing streak on Thursday.

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions
Prediction
A’s 4, Mariners 3
Moneyline.
BET A’S (+118).
Sears has owned the Mariners in his career. He’s got a 1.65 ERA in 6 games against Oakland. He also has better splits at home, JP is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 5 starts. The A’s also shut down Seattle on Wednesday night. They are just 3 games under .500 at the Oakland Coliseum this season.
Woo has looked good, but has struggled on the road. He’s allowed 9 ER over his last 3 home starts dating back to last year.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I’m putting my unit bet on the moneyline and avoid the run line.
Over/Under
PASS.
My lean is to the Under (+102) but this bet is basically a coin toss. These teams are 5-4 against the Over in their last 9 meetings.
