A’s vs. Mariners MLB Predictions: Is the over a good bet in Seattle? 5/16/17
Is the over a good bet tonight in Seattle, where the Mariners will host the A’s at 10:10PM ET?
The Odds
The Mariners are -115 money line favorites to beat the A’s according to oddsmakers. That makes Oakland a +105 money line underdog to upset the Mariners tonight in Seattle. Andrew Triggs is set to face Chase De Jong in the pitching matchup. Thus, the over/under currently sits at 8.5 runs.
A’s have been profitable when Triggs starts
The A’s have won five of Triggs’ last seven starts. They’re also 4-0 in his last four outings when their opponent scores five runs or more in its previous game. In Triggs’ last five starts against divisional rivals, the A’s are 4-1. They are also 4-1 in his last five games when he’s coming off five days of rest.
The Mariners have been tough to beat at home
Seattle has won five of its last six home games and six of seven at home when it faces a team with a losing record. The Mariners have also won five of their last six games against American League West competition.
Seattle has struggled overall, however. The club has lost four of its last five games overall and is 0-4 in its last four games versus a right-handed starter.
