Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Seattle Mariners are simply the better team here and can't afford to blow home games like this if they're going to be a legit playoff contender. Alex Wood is a shell of what he once was, and he's been more than hittable on the road this season. Luis Castillo has been hit or miss over the years, but he's showing signs of getting back on track and should like his chances at home against a lineup that's not all that impressive. There are no excuses for the Mariners in a game like this. Give me the Mariners and the RL for max betting value.
