T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners.

I like the Seattle Mariners to win this game against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. The Mariners have looked terrible lately losing 3 games in a row and they haven't even put up a run in their 2 previous games but I don't see that happening again here and I think they are catching a bit of a break with the Athletics here. As bad as the Mariners have been lately, the A's have been even worse. They won 2/4 of their previous 4 games but they have looked so bad over the last few weeks and have been losing a ton of games, so many to the point where they are 1 of the worst teams in the league. Marco Gonzalez (3-7, 3.41 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he hasn't been great this year but he hasn't been bad either and lately he has been pitching well. He hasn't given up more than 3 runs in his previous 4 starts and he has even been giving up less and less runs in each start. I expect him to pitch another good game here and he shouldn't run into many issues either with how bad the A's have been lately, he will keep them off the board here. James Kaprielian (0-4, 6.31 ERA) is up for the A's here and he has been terrible this year. He has been struggling all year and has given up 4+ runs in a ton of his starts already, and that has been a common theme for him all year. He has been giving up runs all year and I think this is going to be another game where he gives up a ton of runs and blows this game for the A's. I like the Mariners to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mariners.
