The Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics face off on Friday in an American League West showdown at the Oakland Coliseum. The A’s have won four of the six games played between the two teams this year.

The Seattle Mariners haven’t been an elite team this year and one of their big issues this season has been with their scoring. Over the last two games they have scored only four points, and even though they won one of those games, the offense has been something that has let them down a lot of the year. One of the only real bright spots this year for the Mariners has been Kyle Seager who has hit seven home runs and driven in 37 RBI’s.
