[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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 projected starters

RHP Bryan Woo vs. LHP JP Sears

Woo (2-0, 1.30 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 0.58 WHIP, 0.7 BB/9 and 5.9 K/9 in 27 2/3 IP

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.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 2-1 home win in 10 innings over Houston Astros Wednesday

Mariners at A’s odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook, one of the most popular betting apps; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 4:21 p.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Mariners -160 (bet $160 to win $100) | A’s +135 (bet $100 to win $135)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Mariners -1.5 (+105) | A’s +1.5 (-130)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mariners at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 3, A’s 2

Moneyline

The Mariners (-160) will likely win, but they’re a little overpriced, especially since they’re just 4-8 over their last 12 road games.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Seattle (-1.5, +105) has struggled away from home recently and hasn’t won a road series since taking 2 of 3 games at the Houston Astros May 3-5. Kirby has been part of the problem, allowing 4 or more earned runs in 3 straight road starts.

Spence has allowed a total of just 3 runs over his 3 career starts (13 IP) and is coming off 5 1/3 shutout innings at Tampa Bay. The rookie should be able to do just enough to keep the A’s within striking distance.

BET A’S +1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

Spence hasn’t allowed more than 2 earned runs in a start, and the Mariners have scored 3 runs or fewer in 4 of their last 5 road games.

The risk here, however, is that Kirby has given up 14 earned runs over his last 3 road starts (17 IP). Oakland’s 27th-ranked offense (3.79 runs per game) may not be able to take advantage, though.

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (+100).
