Seattle Mariners (69-68) vs. Oakland Athletics (59-78)
The Seattle Mariners who have been consistently hitting at slightly above .500 marks are looking to court in a major fashion as the playoffs draw nearer. Their batting average of .216 is lower than desired and even with a stronger pitching staff whose team ERA is 3.52, their game management is largely on the competence of their pitchers to keep down the hitters of the opposing team. Thus, the Mariners find themselves against the backdrop of the interesting clash of the Red Sox and Mets today, and the more interesting politics of the competition blossom as teams fight for playoff spots.
At the same time, the Oakland Athletics who are last in the standings at the moment still possess a better-hitting team with a .233 average and 175 home runs ballistic compared to their pitching woes that stand at a 4.29 team earned run average. Their knack for finding meaning on hits and runs is going to matter all the more because of the impeding especially crucial clash between the Pirates and Cubs showdown. The outcome of this particular match can also be a factor that determines the strategy of the Athletics as they look to crush the hopes of the Mariners making it to the playoffs.
Logan Gilbert (7-10, 3.09 ERA) vs. Osvaldo Bido (5-3, 3.21 ERA)
Even if the record is not favorable, Logan Gilbert remains one of the constant places for Seattle. He put up decent numbers with a 3.09 earned run average and 0.9 WHIP in a total of 171.2 innings and will try to protect that strength in this meeting. Logan’s plan battling against the line-up who hr with particular ease is going to be demanding on Gilbert’s skills and planning from the mound.
At the same time, Osvaldo Bido gives positive aspects to the Oakland team. He has a decent 3.21 ERA and 1.07 WHIP but is for much less innings, hopefully, his task will be to control as many bad innings as possible over many more innings and not allow home runs. Since this is his first year with less length of experience, maybe due to strategy his performance will at the very least be a surprise benefit for the team or a weakness against the Mariners.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Seattle Mariners -1.5 (+124), Total Odds: 7.5
Mariner’s pitching stats are better compared to the A’s and their recent good history with them; even the current betting odds are slightly inclined to Mariners. The betting line of total over-under remains at 7.5, which also predicts a low-scoring game as a result of both sides’ previous games in which they managed to score less than needed.

Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics 9/2/24 Betting Picks
Upon evaluating the complete assessment of the two teams’ forms over the last five fixtures and their historical relationship, my last advice would be to go and support the Mariners on the points spread. Given their pitching strength, particularly with Gilbert on the mound, they should have enough to restrain the Oakland lineup.
With regards to prop bets and the over/under, I would suggest going with the under as the smarter option based on the recent games played by the two teams at this venue and the abilities of the pitchers to control that kind of situation. This is consistent with the top free MLB predictions where other factors, especially pitching, and strategies, overshadow runs in such matches.
