Mariners earn big sweep at Houston

The Mariners were in a bit of a lull, but came back in a big way by winning four straight at Houston this weekend. Seattle improves to 69-50 overall and 33-26 on the road with those wins and they are 4 games back of Houston in the AL West. Seattle is averaging 4.19 runs per game this year while giving up 4.38 per contest.

Marco Gonzales is getting the start for Seattle this evening. He is 12-7 through 23 starts and has a 3.79 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP. Gonzales has pitched a total of 137.2 innings this year and has 121 strikeouts with 25 walks.

Athletics continuing success

The Athletics are coming off back-to-back wins over the Angels in Los Angeles and they have won eight of their last 10. Oakland is now 70-48 overall and 33-23 at home. The Athletics are 2.5 games back of Houston in the AL West. The Astros are putting up 4.75 runs per game this year while giving up 4.20 per contest.

Sean Manaea takes the mound for Oakland this evening. He has made 24 starts this year and has a 10-8 record with a 3.50 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Manaea has pitched 144.0 innings this season and has 99 strikeouts with 29 walks.

MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners have won six straight Monday games and seven of Gonzales’ last eight starts against division opponents.

Oakland

The Athletics have won 15 of their last 18 home games and eight of their last nine division games.

Prediction:

Seattle shouldn’t be lacking confidence heading to Oakland. Along with their wins over Houston, Seattle has won 20 of its last 27 in Oakland and four of its last five against Manaea. Gonzales has been struggling in recent starts, but I think he can ride the momentum Seattle created this weekend and help them grind out another big division win.

 

The Pick: Seattle Mariners +110
