Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread

Woo is pitching just okay this season. However, he does already have a start against the Athletics. In that game, Woo went six shutout innings, allowed just three hits, and struck out five. In that game, Woo only threw 69 pitches, as well. He definitely could have gone longer into the game, but the Mariners had a solid hold on the lead. It is no secret that the Athletics are the worst team in the league. They are bottom of the league in batting average, and they have not been good on the mound either. Woo should have no problem pitching another gem against Oakland. As long as he pitches his game, the Mariners will cover the spread.

Why The Athletics Could Cover The Spread

As mentioned previously, the Athletics have just two quality starts against Seattle, and Sears has one of them. However, his second start against the Mariners was pretty good, as well. In total, Sears has thrown 11 innings against Seattle, given up seven hits, struck out eight, and he has an ERA of 0.82. Sears has had a lot of success against the Mariners, and it is no surprise. The Mariners are capable of getting hot, but they do srtike out a good amount, as well. If Sears can continue to pitch well against Seattle, the Athletics will cover the spread.

Final Mariners-Athletics Prediction & Pick

Even with Sears on the mound, I can not bet on the Athletics to cover the spread. I am going to take the Mariners to win this game, and cover the spread because I will never bet the Athletics (this season)

Final Mariners-Athletics Prediction & Pick: Mariners -1.5 (+100), Over 7.5 (-115)
