THis is a 7* play on OAKLAND

Seattle has been in rough shape for awhile now as they've dropped 41 of their last 57 games. Look for the misery to continue tonight in Oakland where they'll open up a three-game series. The Mariners allowed 10 runs in yesterday afternoon's loss to the Twins. That increased their league leading total to 443 runs allowed for the year. Only one other team, Baltimore, has given up 400. The M's figure to give up plenty more tonight with Marco Gonzales starting as he brings an 11.30 ERA and 1.74 WHIP from his previous three starts. On the other side, Oakland is in a good spot here. They had Thursday off after beating Tampa Bay on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Don't be scared off by this high price either; the A's are 11-2 the previous two seasons as home favorites of -175 or more (1st time this year). Chris Bassitt gets the start and should lead his team to victory in the opener of this season-long 10-game homestand. The A's are only allowing 3.9 runs/game at home this year. Play on OAKLAND
