The Seattle Mariners will travel and begin a three-game set with Oakland Athletics this Friday night.

Seattle Mariners
Seattle enters this road bout with a 65-54 record, going 7-2 over their last ten games. The Mariners currently sit second the AL West, an they’ve posted a 31-26 record on the road this season. Seattle is 61-58 against the spread this season, with an over-under record of 58-55-6.
Marco Gonzales will get the ball in Oakland this Friday. The eighth-year lefty has been erratic at times this season, and the Mariners will need more stability from him heading into October. Gonzales has posted a 7-12 record, with a 4.18 ERA, and 74 strikeouts.
Seattle has been decent at the plate this season, ranking 13th in on base percentage (.315) and 14th in home runs (127). Eugenio Suarez leads the team in homers (19) and RBIs (61), with Julio Rodriguez right behind him with 18 home runs and 59 RBIs.
Oakland Athletics
Oakland enters this road contest with a 51-64 record, going 7-3 over their last ten games. The Athletics currently sit fourth the AL West, an they’ve posted a 51-64 record at home this season. Oakland is 55-60 against the spread this season, with an over-under record of 48-58-9.
Cole Irvin will make the home start Friday night. The fourth-year pitcher is coming off of his one of his rougher starts of the season, but he’s been pretty steady this season. Irvin has pitched much better than his record indicates, but he’s 6-10 on the season, with an impressive 3.13 ERA, and 85 strikeouts.
Irvin has been very, very good at eating innings this season, going six or more in twelve of his last fourteen games. Oakland’s bullpen is among the league’s worst, posting a 4.13 ERA, so another quality start from Irvin would be ideal.
The Athletics have struggled to find consistency at the plate this season. They’ve gotten most of their production from catcher Sean Murphy, who’s leading the team in homers (16) and RBI (52)
The Angels have underwhelmed as a unit this season, with another injury-filled season for Mike Trout taking its toll on the lineup. Reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani remains amazing, and he leads the team in both homers (26) and RBIs (64).
