MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners are 6-20 in their last 26 games following a loss and 3-13 in their last 16 games following an off day.

Oakland

The Athletics have won six straight home games against a left-handed starter and five in their last six series openers.

Prediction:

Seattle has won all four meetings with Oakland this season, but these two teams are going in different directions right now. LeBlanc is coming off a disastrous performance, as he gave up seven runs in 2.1 innings to Minnesota. Mengden looked solid against Detroit last week, but he is facing a stronger lineup today. Still, Oakland has got things clicking right now while the Mariners are far from that.

MLB Prediction: Oakland Athletics -165
