Oakland will be hoping to close the gap between itself and Houston in the American League West when it travels to Seattle on Saturday night for a 4 game weekend series.
The Athletics are coming off a pair of wins over Los Angeles before having the day off on Wednesday while Seattle split a 2 game set in Colorado.
Sean Manaea struck out a career-high 13 through 7 strong innings, Ramón Laureano drove in 2 runs and the Athletics beat the Mariners 4-1 Thursday night in the opener of a 10-game road trip.
Cal Raleigh and Luis Torrens hit back-to-back homers in the 2nd innings and Dylan Moore scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the 7th inning as the Mariners beat the Athletics 4-3 on Friday night.
Oakland Athletics
Oakland had five home games to open the second half of the season, going 3-2 in those 5 games. Oakland is now embarking on a 10-game road trip that concludes in Anaheim next weekend.
The Athletics are currently 3 games back of Houston in the AL West. They are currently in the lead of the 2nd wild spot.
First baseman Matt Olson has been the key producer for this Athletics offense. He leads the way with 96 hits and a .291 batting average. He has also hit a team-high 25 home runs and driven in 63 runs.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners took 2 out of 3 at Los Angeles last weekend before picking up a 6-4 win at Colorado on Tuesday.
The Mariners enter Saturday’s contest 3rd in the AL West race, 6.5 games behind the Houston Astros for the division lead. In the wild card race, Seattle is only 3.5 games behind Oakland for the second wild card spot.
The Mariners are 30th in MLB, batting just .216 as a team but have excelled in some other areas offensively. The teams’ power and speed have been above average, ranking 12th with 109 home runs and 13th with 40 stolen bases.
Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi was selected as a member of the 2021 American League All-Star team. He was the lone Mariner selected and will be the first starting pitcher sent to represent the club at the All-Star game since Felix Hernandez in 2015.

Saturday night should be a solid game as both teams are playing great ball right now and have split the series so far.
I still like Oakland’s offense more and have more power in their lineup.
I’m taking the Athletics.
