Prediction: A's 6 Mariners 2
A true story of two teams headed in opposite directions. To make matters worse for the Mariners, 2 pitchers headed in opposite directions. Vin Mazzaro is coming off another strong start for the A's. In his last game he tossed six, 1 run innings against the Royals. He is one of a few pitchers lately to tame the Chisox bats by tossing 6 innings of 3 hit, 2 run ball. Fister on the other hand just got lit up for 7 runs and 7 hits in 4 plus innings. As hot as he was in April and May, he is getting that ugly in July and August. After the starters, A's pocess a pen with a decent 3.89 ERA, the Mariners 4.47.
Who's Hot? The A;s have won 4 of 6 and the Mariners just 3 of their last 13. In their last 8 games they have been blanked 3 times as the offense has struggled all year. The A's are winning by pitching allowing just 15 runs in their last 6 games against some good hitting squads. The M's will be in tough against this guy all night.
The A's lead the season series 6-3 and they should have no problems putting this one away as a decent DOG!
A's WIN!
