MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
The Mariners have won four straight following a loss, but are 6-20 in their last 26 road games.
Oakland
The Athletics have won five of their last six Friday games and six of their last seven games following a day off.
Prediction:
The Mariners have really struggled on the mound and Gonzales has been trending toward the negative in recent weeks. Bassit hasn’t been very good in his last four starts, himself. He has allowed at least three runs in all four. While Seattle has questionable pitching, their hitting can jump on a bad pitcher. Trends say Seattle will win following the loss and Oakland hasn’t been able to really get far from the .500 mark for a while now. I think the Mariners will be able to win a high-scoring game tonight.
MLB Prediction: Seattle Mariners +165
