Athletics vs Mariners Prediction
I’m backing the Mariners in this one. Woo has been an outstanding option for the Mariners for the last season plus, and he has great numbers against the Athletics in his career. Gunnar Hoglund had a great major league debut, but this Mariners’ lineup is still a tough one to navigate, given how well they’re hitting right now. I think the Mariners can get the job done in this game and win the series. Give me Seattle on the road here.
