Athletics
Moneyline Pick - Seattle Mariners (-155): B

Seattle enters this matchup riding great form, fueled by a significant scoring margin and an advantageous pitching alignment. With one of their many top arms taking the mound and facing a thinned Athletics rotation still working back key contributors, the Mariners hold a clear edge on the mound. Offensively, the A's have struggled to generate momentum, hitting just over .200 in recent games, while Seattle's core has found consistency. The Mariners' bullpen depth and rotation health offer further contrast in this afternoon's series finale.

Even though it's tempting to chase the value with the underdog, this is one of those spots where the safer side makes sense despite the lackluster odds. The road team is just in a better spot across the board—pitching, lineup, and recent form. It's not flashy, but the Mariners are the right play here.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9 (-115): B+

Seattle’s recent momentum meets a high-octane pitching duel as they look to extend a 7-3 run behind one of their more reliable arms. On the other side, the Athletics send out their fireballer in a bid to not start a losing streak, though offensive depth remains a concern. With lineup absences, quiet trends at the plate, and a park that doesn’t do hitters many favors, this matchup shapes up as a classic pitcher’s day.

When you combine two locked-in bullpens, some swing-and-miss starters, and a stadium that plays big—especially in the afternoon—it’s tough to make a case for double-digit scoring. Under nine runs might not be the flashiest ticket, but it’s the smarter one here.

Spread Pick - Seattle Mariners, -1.5 (-105): B+

Seattle rolls into this matchup on great 7-3 run, while the Athletics are on a 7-3 run of their own. The Mariners benefit from a strong recent trend on the mound, including their pitching staff's stellar track record against this division rival. Meanwhile, the Athletics are leaning on a rookie starter that has yet to face the Mariners, which narrows the margin for error.

Even if the payout isn't massive, the pieces line up neatly for Seattle to cover the run line here. With their arms sharper, lineup deeper, and recent form steadier, this one feels like a repeat script rather than a surprise twist.
