AAA SPORTS TUESDAY MLB MAJOR MISMATCH!
(MLB) Mariners (SEA) vs. Athletics (OAK),
Money Line: -148.00 Mariners (SEA) (Away)
Result: Loss
This is the second game of a four-game series between the AL rivals and in my opinion, Luis Castillo (11-12, 3.65 ERA) and the visitors are well worth the price of admission in this one. Off yesterday's loss, Seattle is five games back of the final AL Wildcard spot, so time's running out. The road ahead doesn't get any easier for Seattle, making these types of games really important. Seattle though has the starting pitching to make a late run at a playoff spot. Luis Castillo is still a top notch hurler and Seattle is 4-0 his last 4 starts against the A's. Castillo will be up against Oakland scheduled starter JT Ginn (0-0, 5.19), who was shelled for four runs over four innings in a loss to the Reds on Thursday. It was his first MLB start and suffice it to say he looked way more comfortable out of the bullpen in the early going. This is a big mismatch, and it makes this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying; lay the price, the play is Seattle!
