Mariners-A’s Best Bet
Luis Castillo has been inconsistent lately, allowing two or fewer runs in two of his last five starts but giving up four or more runs twice in that span. Despite this, the Mariners managed a 3-2 record in those games.
JT Ginn has limited experience, with just three career appearances. Considering the Mariners’ recent offensive struggles and the Athletics’ solid hitting, the A’s have an excellent chance to win this game.
Betting on the Athletics moneyline is a solid choice.
Will the A’s bounce back at home against the visiting Mariners?
