*action on pitchers* MLB Friday 10* Top Play OVER 8 in Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics @ 10:10 ET - Yes the A's are known as one of the weaker hitting teams in the majors. However, they are hitting better again and have hit well at Seattle this season. After yesterday's 8-6 loss, Oakland has now scored an average of 6 runs in their 4 games at Seattle this season. Also, overall, the Athletics have scored an average of 5 runs last 6 road games. That said, I expect them to hit Gonzales like they did the last time they faced him at Seattle. He comes into this start having had success in his most recent home start but that was preceded by 7 walks against just 6 strikeouts in his 2 prior home starts. The home start before those 2? Gonzales allowed 5 earned runs to this same Oakland team. As for the A's starter Kaprielian he is winless in his 11 starts with a 5.88 ERA. Also, he allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings in his most recent start at Seattle. Overall, Kaprielian has 10 walks against 4 strikeouts in his last two road starts. Regardless of starting pitchers I like the fact the A's have been scoring better of late plus scoring well at Seattle this season. I also like the fact the Mariners have won 8 of 10 games and scored an average of 5 runs during this stretch. Take action on the pitchers and look for plenty of runs here no matter who the starting pitchers are. The games between these teams at T-Mobile Park this season have averaged 11 runs per game. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 8 in Seattle
