Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. I think this has pitcher’s duel and first to three written all over it, like a 3-2 kind of game. The Athletics’ offense, or lack thereof, looks to already be in midseason form, and Castillo has owned the Athletics in a Mariners’ uniform. On the other side, Jeffrey Springs is a solid add to this Athletics’ rotation, and I think this is going to be another low-scoring duel and one that could also be decided late as well. Give me the under in this one.
