In this Athletics vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -170 home favorites. Gilbert has been excellent at home for the Mariners, while Lopez for the A’s is coming into this matchup in excellent form, as he has 4 shutouts in his last 5 starts. Both games of this series have been extremely low-scoring ones, as they had 5 and 3 total runs, and with those two pitchers on the mound, I don’t expect fireworks offensively. Take the under 7.5 in this one.
