The Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics will play game two of their three-game set this Friday night. The Mariners destroyed the A’s in the series opener, 10-2, earning their fourth win in a row.
The Mariners will open up as the favorites here on the road, with the total opening at 7.5. Seattle skipper Scott Servais will send Logan Gilbert to the mound, while A’s coach Art Howe will give James Kapriellan the home start.
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.
Logan Gilbert is slated to open the series for Seattle, with the possibility of newly-acquired Luis Castillo floating around as well. Gilbert has followed up a solid rookie year with solid numbers this season, posting a 10-4 record, 3.09 ERA and 120 strikeouts.
Seattle’s bullpen ranks in the top ten of majors in ERA (3.49), and with Gilbert going no more than six in each of his past twelve starts, they will surely have an effect on this late-night contest.
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.
James Kapriellan will get the call Saturday night for Oakland. The third-year pitcher hasn’t benefit from much run support this season, and that’s reflected on him statistically. Kapriellan has posted a 3-7 record, with a 4.33 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season, but he’s 3-2 since the start of July, and has only given up more than two runs twice during this span.
Kapriellan has only gone beyond the 6th inning three times this season, meaning Oakland’s bullpen, which is among the league’s worst with a 4.13 ERA, will have an impact on this divisional bout.
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)
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Seattle has gone 7-3 in their last 10 against the AL West.
- Oakland has gone 4-6 in their last 10 against the AL West.
- The Mariners have gone 6-6 in their last 12 road games
- The A’s have gone 5-7 in their last 12 home games
Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Prediction: Seattle to Cover
The Midseason Mariners are back on another heater, and we’re going to ride this momentum against a lowly A’s team that has appeared to cool off. Seattle’s production at the plate has been too much right now, and with Logan Gilbert going, it’s the perfect storm.
Take Seattle’s run line confidently Saturday night.
