Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
The Seattle Mariners should be favored because they're the better team and Luis Castillo has been solid this season. J.T. Ginn is also still wet behind the ears and is making just his second career start. With all that said, the Oakland Athletics are scoring runs all of a sudden, and it gives these plus money odds a run for its money. The Mariners are just a team I'm not excited to back in the favorite role because they don't score consistently, and they've blown a massive division lead. The Mariners are toast. Give me the Athletics and more bang for my buck.
