The Athletics both booked their last place in the American League early in the season and remain there by the end of the first half of the regular season. After losing to Seattle in the first game of the series, the score was 23-46. Even the conference's penultimate-ranked Kansas City Chiefs had four fewer losses.
Oakland's starting pitcher for game two of the series with Seattle is Paul Blackburn, one of the bright spots of the team's terrible season. The pitcher is 6-2 and has a 2.26 ERA in 13 starts in the current league.
Seattle's Still Chasing the Wild Card
It appears extremely difficult for Scott Servais' team to be a playoff contender. Seattle is unstable, with a good match usually followed by two or three bad ones. With a 30-39 balance, the Mariners are only 4th in the American League West Division and ahead of only Oakland. The sole leader of the quintet, Houston, Los Angeles Angels and Texas are also ahead.
Seattle's starting pitcher for game two in Oakland is George Kirby, 1-2 and with a 3.56 ERA in eight starts this season.
Expert Betting Tips
Only Detroit is scoring less than Oakland's average per game this season. Seattle isn't far behind, ranking fifth from last in offensive efficiency. This fact, coupled with the good pitchers Blackburn and Kirby, who will appear in the starting lineup, gives reason to bet on the under outcome. Prediction: TU.
