They enter this game with a 36-41 record overall and have a home record of 17-19.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game. They have been playing much better in recent games as they just won their last series over the Orioles, and they have been picking up a lot of wins recently as well with 7 in their last 9. They have also been a better team at home this season where they are here and have an A's team coming into town who has the worst record in the MLB and just got swept by the Yankees in their last series. The A's have been slumping for a while now and this is a scenario where there are 2 teams trending in opposite directions here. The starting pitcher for the A's here has also been awful all season and the Mariners will have an advantage over him with their starter. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
