Mariners at Athletics picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 4, Athletics 3
Money line
Martinez has been fly-ball-unlucky thus far. Take the Oakland side of this offering if you can get the Athletics at +200. Otherwise, PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The fairer price as lined is OAKLAND +1.5 (+105).
The Mariners have scored 1 run in each of the first 2 games of this series. They’ve hoisted that meager tally in 4 of their last 5 games.
Over/Under
Crisscrossing signals here: AVOID.
