Oakland Athletics
Anderson looks to be the leading candidate to take the mound against Seattle. The journeyman has been pitching well down in Triple AAA for Oakland where he has posted a 11.84 K/9, 0.95 BB/9, 1.89 ERA and 1.57 FIP in four starts.
Yes, he was killing it in Triple AAA, but teams should be weary of a veteran who’s been pitching well in the minors because those vets have experience on their side and will not be intimidated by any batter.

Oakland has been in the cool-off phase winning two of the last five contests in the past week. Their lineup is only slashing .209/.267/.387 while hitting 17 extra-base hits and just 17 RBI.
Seattle Mariners
Paxton put in his third quality start of the season, this time on the road in Cleveland. He managed to put in six innings of work giving up two earned off of five hits while striking out 10 and walking three.
Two mucky starts have marred his ERA, but his FIP sits at 3.99, which tells us he’s been pitching better than what his numbers would indicate. His unlucky .329 BABIP probably has something to do with it. Either way, his 12.51 K/9 is something not to be messed with and his 5.12 ERA should regress once the law of averages takes effect.

Free Oakland Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Prediction: Seattle continues to play winning baseball
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Athletics +1.5 & UNDER 8 Runs
Oakland hasn’t been hitting well, but I expect Anderson to keep this game close. Paxton will be due for a couple of runs, which should be just enough to keep Oakland within the run line. Take the under as well as this should be a low-scoring affair.
