Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (70-70) and Oakland A’s (61-79) wrap up a 4-game set Thursday. First pitch from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is set 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 5-4

The Mariners dropped the 1st 2 games of this series, both walk-off wins for the A’s. Seattle put it together Wednesday night, taking out a lot of frustration on Oakland with a 16-3 victory to punish LHP JP Sears and the bullpen.

Seattle RHP George Kirby turned in a quality start with 2 ER and 6 H allowed with 9 K across 6 IP in a victory, while DH Mitch Garver and 3B Luis Urias each drove in 4 runs. Urias and OF Victor Robles each collected 3 hits, too.

The Mariners snapped a 4-game skid, all losses by a single run. Despite just a .500 record, Seattle is squarely in the chase for a postseason spot, but it needs a lot of help with 22 games remaining.

The A’s host Seattle for the final time at the Coliseum before it pulls up stakes and heads to Sacramento next season, prior to its move to Las Vegas.

Mariners at A’s projected starters

RHP Bryan Woo vs. RHP Joey Estes

Woo (6-2, 2.30 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 0.81 WHIP, 0.9 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 94 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H (3 HR), 0 BB, 3 K in 5-4 road loss vs. Los Angeles Angels Saturday
  • 2024 road splits: 2-2, 2.94 ERA (52 IP, 17 ER), 0.92 WHIP, .212 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 6 BB, 36 K in 10 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, Athletics 2

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-148) are a good bet behind Woo, who has never surrendered a run in 3 career starts against the A’s (+126).

Estes has also handled himself well against Seattle, and he has pitched well since the All-Star break, too. Look for this one to be a nail-biter, with the M’s coming out on top in a close one.

Run line/Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to back the A’S +1.5 (-140) straight up, they’re not a bad bet catching the run and a half. The Mariners -1.5 (+116) took out a ton of frustration on Oakland in Wednesday’s rout, but prior to that they had 4 consecutive 1-run losses.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-114) might be the best play on the board in what could be a surprising pitchers’ duel between Woo and Estes under the Golden State sunshine.

Again, Woo has never allowed a run in 21 1/3 IP across 4 career starts against the A’s, and Estes has a sub-3.00 ERA since the All-Star break. These might not be your first choices when thinking about effective AL pitchers, but both have been keeping scores surprisingly low lately.

Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seattle Mariners at Oakland A’s odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seattle Mariners (69-70) and Oakland A’s (61-78) play the 3rd contest in a 4-game set Wednesday. First pitch from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is set for 9:40 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: Tied 4-4

The Mariners lost 2 of 3 games against the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend, and they brought their bad juju to the Bay Area. Seattle has dropped each of the 1st 2 games of the series, with Oakland walking it off both nights. Seth Brown was the hero Tuesday with a HR earlier in the contest, and a game-winning single.

In the losing effort, Seattle’s Cal Raleigh had a 2-run RBI double in the 1st inning to get to 84 RBI. That’s the best mark in franchise history by a catcher, breaking the record of his interim manager, Dan Wilson. It was the 25th time Raleigh has had a multi-RBI game, too, and the Mariners are 19-6 in those outings.

Oakland has won 3 of the past 4 meetings, and the Under has connected in 4 of the past 5 in the series.

Mariners at A’s projected starters

RHP George Kirby vs. LHP JP Sears

Kirby (10-10, 3.63 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 1.2 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 161 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 5 H (3 HR), 1 BB, 2 K in 9-5 road victory vs. Angels Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 5-6, 4.17 ERA (90 2/3 IP, 42 ER), 1.16 WHIP, .258 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 12 BB, 76 K in 16 starts
  • Post All-Star break: 3-3, 4.57 ERA (43 1/3 IP, 22 ER), 9 HR, 1.43 ERA, .295 OBA, 8 BB, 37 K in 8 starts
  • Career vs. A’s: 4-0, 4.12 ERA (39 1/3 IP, 18 ER), 4 HR, 1.30 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 in 7 starts

Sears (11-9, 4.21 ERA) makes his 28th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 151 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 H (1 solo HR), 2 BB, 4 K in 9-2 road victory vs. Texas Rangers Friday
  • 2024 home splits: 6-5, 4.70 ERA (69 IP, 36 ER), 1.25 WHIP, .274 OBA, 13 BB, 52 K in 13 starts
  • Post All-Star break: 5-2, 3.53 ERA (51 IP, 20 ER), 1.10 WHIP, .253 OBA, 8 BB, 41 K in 8 starts
  • Career vs. Mariners: 2-2, 1.86 ERA (38 2/3 IP, 8 ER), 3 HR, 1.01 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 in 7 appearances (6 starts)

  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Mariners -1.5 (+118) | A’s +1.5 (-142)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

A’s 4, Mariners 3

Moneyline

The A’S (+122) are a solid play as short ‘dogs at home, as they’re being extremely rude hosts to the Mariners (-144) so far in this series. In fact, Seattle’s postseason hopes might officially die in the Bay Area.

Sears has been the best pitcher for Oakland, and he has gotten stronger after the All-Star break. The A’s don’t have a great record, but they’ve been pesky, and much better than expected.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re more of a careful bettor, and you just don’t trust Oakland straight up, A’S +1.5 (-142) for a little insurance isn’t priced out of line.

The A’s have been coming up with late-inning magic in this series, and they have their best starting pitcher going. But, if you need to take the run, no one can blame you.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-115) is once again the lean, but stick with a half-unit play at most.

The total has gone low in 4 of the past 5 meetings between these AL West rivals.

Be careful, as the Over has cashed in each of the past 5 starts for Kirby. However, the A’s have managed just 3.5 runs per game in the past 4 outings, while allowing just 3.8 RPG.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, A’s 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-144) are a solid play as moderate favorites in the series opener. Gilbert has been pitching well all season, including a solid 3.81 ERA and 1.00 WHIP on the road.

The Mariners are a respectable 5-4 in 9 games under interim manager Dan Wilson, and the schedule is set up for Seattle to make a move still, but it needs to get going.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more conservative of a bettor, A’S +1.5 (-144) is worth playing lightly behind Bido. He has really come into his own for Oakland, posting a 3.03 ERA at home this season and holding the opposition to a .188 batting average. This will be a surprisingly decent pitching matchup.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-112) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

While the Over is 6-3-1 across the past 10 games for the Mariners, the Under cashed in each outing of the previous 3-game set in Oakland.

For the A’s, while the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 outings, the Under is 9-6 across the past 15 games. And the Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 outings by Bido.
