Seattle Mariners vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the over here. The over cashed with relative ease on Monday before extras were even needed, and I think we could get it again here. Hancock has been shaky at best this season in his limited appearances, and I think he could be in for another rough outing given how well the Athletics have been performing out of the gate. On the other side, the Mariners have been hitting anything that moves as of late, and Springs has not gotten off to the best of starts for his new club, and in the minor-league ballpark in Sacramento, I think we get runs aplenty here as well. Give me the over.
