They enter this game with a 86-70 record overall and have a home record of 42-33.

His team lost their last 4 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 8 strikeouts on 6 hits through 5.2 innings played against the Texas Rangers.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have been good in their games lately and they just locked up the final playoff spot in the AL with their win against the A's in the 1st game of this series. They still have a very good starter going in this game though and the bats will need to stay hot as they get ready for a trip to the playoffs. The A's have nothing left to play for as they are out of the playoffs and cannot even spoil any hopes for the Mariners. The A's also have one of the worst offenses in the league so the Mariners will be able to outscore them here. The A's will also struggle to put up runs on this starter for the Mariners so the Mariners have a big advantage here with both their pitching and their hitting. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game on the runline.
