MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The Mariners are 9-28 in their last 37 road games and 5-16 in their last 21 games following an off day.
Oakland
The Athletics have won six of their last seven series openers and nine of their last 11 games following an off day.
Prediction:
The Athletics have been rolling, but we can’t say the same about Mengden. He has given up 14 runs over his last 19.1 innings on the mound. Luckily for him, Seattle is in a funk right now and without its most productive bat after trading him to New York. Gonzales has been steady, but still gives up multiple runs in each start. He has a solid 2.57 ERA against Oakland in three meetings, but I don’t trust his bats or bullpen to help him out. I will go with the Athletics to rally late for the victory.
MLB Prediction: Oakland Athletics -175
