Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Few Over/Unders)
July 30, 2025 — 10:05 PM ET
The Setup:
The Seattle Mariners (-116) roll into Oakland as favorites, riding a 57-50 record and a 3-1 win in Game 1. The Athletics (+105) are a 46-63 team with nothing to lose—and a bullpen that’s probably already lost. Starting pitchers Logan Evans (Mariners) and Luis Severino (A’s) face off in a battle of "who’s less likely to throw a no-hitter."
The Props to Watch:
- Cal Raleigh (SEA): Over 1.5 hits (-115). The Mariners’ slugger is here to hit, not chat.
- Julio Rodriguez (SEA): Over 1.5 hits (-115). The "King of the M’s" isn’t letting A’s pitchers live today.
- Luis Severino (OAK): Under 4.5 strikeouts (-165). Let’s be real—he’s here for the experience, not the stats.
- Brent Rooker (OAK): Over 0.5 home runs (+375). A long shot, but if he connects, the A’s might literally light it up.
The Prediction:
The Mariners’ bats will dominate, with Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez combining for 5+ hits. The Athletics’ offense? They’ll swing for the fences but settle for a few singles and a very loud "we tried!" The total runs line of 10.5 is a trap—this game goes OVER, thanks to Seattle’s 12th-ranked offense (per the odds) and Severino’s… unique control.
The Joke:
The A’s will win the "most entertaining underdog" award, but the Mariners will win the game. Unless Brent Rooker hits a moonshot to left, which would make this article’s title "A’s Win in Upset" and my credibility vanish.
Final Score Prediction:
Seattle 7, Oakland 5.
Why? Because the Mariners are -116 favorites for a reason, but the A’s will keep it close long enough for you to question every life choice that led you here. And remember: never bet on a team with a 46-63 record unless you’re into self-sabotage. 🎲⚾
