Tips and predictions for Mariners at A’s
forecast
Mariners 4, A’s 3
Money line
The Sailor (-144) are solid choices as moderate favorites in the series opener. Gilbert has pitched well all season, including a solid 3.81 ERA and 1.00 WHIP on the road.
The Mariners have a respectable 5-4 record in nine games under interim coach Dan Wilson, and the schedule calls for Seattle to take one more step, but it has to get going first.
Running Line/Against the Spread
If you are a more conservative bettor, A´s +1,5 (-144) is worth playing cautiously behind Bido. He’s really hit his stride in Oakland, posting a 3.03 ERA at home this season and holding opponents to a .188 batting average. This will be a surprisingly good pitching matchup.

Over/Under
UNDER 7.5 (-112) is the slim one, but go with a Half-unit game at best.
While the over is 6-3-1 in the Mariners’ last 10 games, the under has scored in each of the previous 3 games in Oakland.
For the A’s, the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games and the under is 9-6 in their last 15 games. And the under has won in 4 of Bido’s last 5 games.
