Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Mariners but have lost their last three home meetings.
In this Mariners vs Athletics Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -160 road favorites. I don’t like the pitching in this matchup as both starters have a combined 10.20 ERA and their home/away splits are even worse, with Springs having a 2-9 record and 7.18 home ERA, while Kirby sits on a 5.48 ERA on the road. On top of that, the A’s have the worst bullpen in baseball and both teams are 14-5-1 to the over in their last 20 games combined. Take the over 10 runs in this one.
