Ken Waldichuk (1-3, 6.85 ERA, 15 Ks) will get the ball for Oakland.

Jarred Kelenic produced three runs in the game one victory, and he leads the team in batting (.296) and homers (10).

Eugenio Suarez has produced three runs in two of the last four games, and he’s now up to a team-lead 28 RBI.
Bryce Miller (2-1, 1.42 ERA, 22 Ks) will start for Seattle. The rookie pitcher took the first loss of his career last week in Atlanta, despite delivering a fourth straight quality start. off a great start through three MLB starts. Miller burst onto the scene with a ten-strikeout performance in Oakland, before tossing shutout ball against Houston and Detroit last week. All three outings were quality starts, and he’ll look to get things going against a tough Atlanta team Friday.

Oakland is 18-31 against the spread this season, with a 28-19-2 O/U record. Seattle is 25-22 ATS this year, with a 23-23-1 over/under record.
Corey’s Free Pick
Seattle has taken the first two contests, and they should be able to keep things going Wednesday. The Mariners will carry a noticeable advantage on the mound with Rookie of the Year candidate Bryce Miller set to start, and Ken Waldichuk slated to start for Oakland. Waldichuk has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball this season, and it’s likely he surrenders some production here. Back Seattle to take game three of this divisional series.
