*action on pitchers* MLB Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 7.5 in Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics @ 4:10 ET - We fell short with this play yesterday because the Mariners had a rare bad game at the plate as opposing starting pitcher Kaprielian got his first win of the season. Oakland actually pounded out double digits in hits but struggled with runners in scoring position. That said I will come right back with this play here as Athletics get more clutch hitting today and the M's bounce back at the plate. As noted yesterday, 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 which continue yesterday despite scoring just 3 runs in the victory yesterday. After the 3-1, Oakland has now scored an average of 5.6 runs in their 5 games at Seattle this season. Also, overall, the Athletics have scored an average of nearly 5 runs last 7 road games. That said, I expect them to hit Blackburn like they did the last time they faced him just last month. He comes into this start having gone 1-2 with a 5.13 ERA last 5 starts and was hit at a .306 clip in those games. As for the Mariners starter George Kirby, he gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings the last time he hosted the A's. Also, the Mariners righty has been hit very hard overall in his last 4 starts at home. 29 hits in 20 innings for Kirby in his last 4 home starts this season. 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 11 games and scored an average of 4.6 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 9.6 runs per game. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 7.5 in Seattle
