As for the Mariners, for one reason or another they’ve struggled to win on Mondays, going just 5-12 in their last 17 games played on this day. They’re also winless at 0-4 in their lat four games versus American League West rivals and are 1-4 in their last five home games versus a team with a losing record.
OUR PREDICTION: As a MLB better, you’re always trying to look for value in lines. Tonight, the value lies with Oakland. For starters, Hill has outperformed Walker this year so you’re getting the edge in the pitching matchup right off the bat. Walker’s game scores according to Fangraphs are 26, 48 and 34, respectively, over his last three starts. He has struggled with walks in his last two outings and his HR/FB rate is inflated as well. Even though Oakland has lost four straight and Seattle has won four straight, the A’s are worth a flier with Hill on the mound. He should spark them.
MONDAY MLB PREDICTION: OAKLAND A’S +116
