They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mariners are coming into this game with a 17-25 record overall and they are 9-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game losing streak. They just lost their 4-game series against the Boston Red Sox getting swept 4-0 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Athletics on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Marco Gonzales is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while rookie pitcher George Kirby will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 2 homers, and 1 BB with 3 strikeouts on 8 hits in 5 innings played against the Boston Red Sox. They scored 18 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 33 runs against them averaging just over 8 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mariners are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost 5 straight games and just got swept in a 4 game series but they have been a much better team at home and they are getting a bad team here coming into town for this series. They are going up against an Athletics side that has not been playing any better this season and has also been losing a lot of their recent games. The Mariners will be hungry to bounce back in this game as well as they are at home and just got swept in their last series. Neither of these pitchers have been great this season but the Mariners have a rookie starting in this game and he does offer a bit of a surprise with the lack of tape available on him. The Mariners should bounce back in this game at home. The best bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

"We did have some opportunities there early. We just weren't able to cash it." - Mark Kotsay after his team’s loss against the Angels on Saturday.

 

 

"It's continuing to focus on getting better, and we've had some adversity early in the season, more than we had really bargained for. That's just the way it goes. You've got to figure out a way to fight through it. ‘What can I do to help the team win today?' We need everybody to chip in. It's not just one guy." - Scott Servais after his team’s loss against the Red Sox on Sunday.
