MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The Mariners have won 10 of their last 14 road games and six of their last seven against a right-handed starting pitcher.
Oakland
The Athletics have lost 11 of their last 16 games against a winning team. They have also lost Gossett’s last four starts and four of his last five starts at home.
Prediction:
Both teams have been playing pretty well as of late, but Oakland has managed to beat up on some poor teams. Seattle has shown an ability to beat good and bad despite the loss of Robinson Cano. The Mariners also have the much more reliable starting pitcher of the two. I think Gossett will struggle to make anything positive happen on the mound.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners +110
