If you're not up on Osvaldo Bido you should be. Bido has been an underdog in each of his last four starts. The A's have won each of those games in large part because of Bido's tremendous pitching. Bido has a 1.17 ERA during his past four starts.

Now, once again, Bido is an underdog. This time at home to the Mariners and Logan Gilbert.

I'm not turning down this opportunity to ride the Bido's plus-price train.

Gilbert has a losing record on the season at 7-10. So do the Mariners when playing on the road where they are 28-40. Gilbert is a T-Mobile Park pitcher with a 2.35 home ERA. That ERA rises to 3.81 on the road. Gilbert also has a 4.76 ERA in his past three starts.

Oakland has shown an underrated resilience going 17-5 the past 22 times following a loss. They are averaging 5.8 runs in their last eight games.

The Mariners have scored 4 or fewer runs in eight of their last 12 games. They have the lowest team batting average in the majors, while also ranking 29th in OPS and 26th in runs.
