Stephen Nover's MLB Tuesday Top Ticket - 11-1 Last 12 Plays!
(MLB) Mariners (SEA) vs. Athletics (OAK),
Total: 7.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
The A's are better offensively than perceived. They are averaging 5.7 runs in their last nine games.

Seattle is pitching Luis Castillo. That's good when the Mariners are home. Not good when they are away like here. Castillo is 4-7 with a 4.35 road ERA.

The Mariners should do their part to get this total Over facing J.T. Ginn, a rookie who has pitched only 3 2/3 innings and has a 5.19 ERA. The A's bullpen has shown slippage after trading Lucas Erceg and with closer Mason Miller hitting the wall of late.

Seattle's weak offense has picked up with Julio Rodriguez healthy again and returning to his star form. The Mariners are averaging 5.4 runs in their last five games.
