Oakland Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners Predicted Outcome
Jacob López brings strong form and consistency, which could stifle Seattle’s offense early. Meanwhile, the Mariners’ Logan Gilbert must tighten control to avoid giving Oakland an early edge. Given Oakland’s recent strong stretch and Seattle’s shaky form (despite recent win), expect a moderately high-scoring, tightly contested game. Prediction: Athletics win 5–4 in front of a lively home crowd.
