Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners will play game 3 and the last of their 3 game series on Sunday at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Oakland tied the series 1-1 in game 2 and now the Mariners are leading the record 8-4 in 12 games played between them in this season so far.

Oakland Athletics 

Oakland Athletics have won game 2 on Saturday 4-3 in the Extra inning to tie this series 1-1 so far going into game 3 tonight. Oakland have been on a bad run lately so a win should be good and give them some confidence tonight. Karprielian was on the mound for Oakland in the last game and he allowed 2 Earned runs and 3 Hits in 5 innings pitched. Oakland are 29th in runs scored and 23rd in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

JP Sears (4-0, 1.95 ERA) will be on the mound for the A's in game 3 on Sunday, JP's last start was against Texas Rangers and he went 5 innings allowing 0 Earned runs and had 2 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 5-1 win for the A's.

Seattle Mariners 

Seattle Mariners have lost their 4 games winning streak after losing 3-4 to the A's on Saturday, Seattle are big favourites to close this series tonight with a win, the Mariners have scored 13 runs and allowed 6 Runs in 2 games in this series so their offense is running hot at the moment. Gilbert was on the mound in the last game and he allowed 6 Hits, 3 Runs and 2 Earned runs in 5 Innings pitched. Mariners are the 18th in runs scored and 8th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Luis Castillo (5-4, 2.70 ERA) will be in the mound for the Mariners in game 3 on Sunday, Castillo's last start was against Los Angeles Angels and he went 6 innings allowing 2 earned runs and had 9 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 6-2 win for the Mariners.

Prediction

Game 2 was a low scoring game as we thought and I like this one to be a low scoring game too, we have two really good pitchers and they are in form now and it should be a tight game deciding who's going to win this series. Games between both teams have been low scoring lately too as 4 of the last 5 games have went Under the total between them so give me the Under in this one.

PICK: Total Under 7 (+105).
