Athletics vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have not been listed yet for this game. The Athletics have not announced a starting pitcher yet either but their pitching has been so bad this season that they will not win this game with arms from the bullpen. The Mariners have been very hot recently as they have 6 of their last 8 games and have been beating up on the very bad teams they have been facing. It does not get any worse than the A's though as they have the worst record in the MLB and have been very bad for a while now, losing a lot of their recent games. The Mariners also have Gilbert on the mound here who has been their best starter all season, leading the team in wins and the starters in ERA. The A's have had a very bad offense all season and have not been scoring many runs recently either, Gilbert will keep them from scoring runs here and win this game for his team with a great pitching performance against one of the weakest lineups in the MLB. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
