Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Prediction 

Oakland is coming off of an emotional series with Texas, as they played their last games at the Oakland Coliseum, but they will have to be ready for a hot Seattle team here. The Mariners have played very well over the last few weeks, but they were just eliminated from postseason contention. Seattle is 46-32 at home this year, while Oakland is 31-47 on the road. The Athletics are starting JP Sears, who has been pretty strong for them this season, but has really fallen apart in his last three outings. I think the A’s could have a hard time getting focused in this game and I don’t like what I have seen from Sears, so give me the Mariners -1.5 here.
