Oakland comes into this game really struggling and is one of the worst teams in baseball. Oakland is starting Adrian Martinez, who started one game back on May 10 against Detroit and allowed 0 runs over 5.1 innings of work. For Seattle, Logan Gilbert has pitched well lately and has allowed five runs over his last 17.2 innings pitched. I like Seattle to win this game by at least two runs.
