Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Prediction: Mariners to secure a splitting win

Oakland Coliseum will host the MLB encounter between the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners. The Athletics are in the lead in this encounter. Can the Mariners secure a split win?

The Oakland Athletics suffered their first loss in this series following a strong start. In the opener, the Oakland Athletics secured a 5-4 win and then a 3-2 win in game 2. However, things did not go well for this team in game three, as they scored just three runs while conceding 16. In the meantime, the recent series played by the Oakland Athletics ended with average results, losing to the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers while they defeated the Cincinnati Reds. The Oakland Athletics have a 61-79 record, leaving them seated 13th in the American League.

The Seattle Mariners will take momentum from their win in game three and will hope to take something in this finale. In the first two games, this team lost by one run in each encounter, scoring six runs and conceding 8. In the meantime, the Seattle Mariners scored 16 runs in game three while conceding 3. In the meantime, the Seattle Mariners lost to the Los Angeles Angels in the prior series while picking wins against the Tampa Bay Rays and San Francisco Giants. In the American League this season, the Seattle Mariners have a 70-70 record, leaving them seated 8th. 

The Seattle Mariners look like the real deal in this finale after a very strong game three performance. After a very less-than-impressive first two games by the Oakland Athletics despite winning, we saw what the Seattle Mariners can do when at their best. The Oakland Athletics do not look like that side that could show character and score many runs, and with a strong Seattle Mariners offense, I am backing them to get the job done in this finale.
