Neither of these teams have had much success this season, but Oakland has been the worst team between these two. Oakland has struggled to score runs and has a team ERA of 4.32. Oakland is starting James Kaprielian, who has allowed at least four runs in four of his last five starts. Seattle is starting Marco Gonzales, who has allowed two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. I like Seattle in this matchup to win by at least two runs.
