Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners are on a six-game losing streak, as they got swept by the Detroit Tigers at home and the San Diego Padres on the road in a 31-7 margin through those 3 games.
The Mariners enter Monday third in the AL West, 6.5 games behind the A’s for the division lead.
After a 3-1 victory in the Indians series, the Mariners have scored just three runs through three contests against one of the worst teams in the league while yielding 15 runs to the Tigers in a return.
The Mariners have the lowest OPS in the majors in May (.639) while batting a miserable .198 which is also the worst in baseball this month.
Oakland Athletics

The A’s entered Sunday holding a 1.5-game advantage on the Astros in the AL West race as they look to extend that advantage.

Free Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Prediction:
Seattle has had major issues at the plate this season and that’s something that has hampered them on the year. The Mariners have to find a way to improve their anemic .198 team batting average.
Oakland is playing well and they are leading the AL West. Montas pitched decently in his last start before the Astros tagged the A’s bullpen in a one-sided loss.
Seattle just hasn’t produced at the plate and that showed after managing only 7 runs in their last series. Take Oakland at home.
