Top Rated 10* MLB *BIG HITTER*
(MLB) Oakland vs. Seattle,
Money Line: -152.00 Seattle (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Seattle Mariners
Rating: 10/10*

The Seattle Mariners have dropped eight of their last 10 games and they enter Friday's matchup with the Oakland Athletics on a four-game slide. I think they'll edge this game though with James Paxton (6-3, 3.27 ERA) on the mound. The 28 year old southpaw is 4-2 behind a 2.68 ERA in eight home starts on the season, and he'll be looking to revenge a terrible outing against Oakland back in April. The A's hand the ball to Sean Manaea (7-4, 3.75 ERA). He has pitched well lately, but I think the Mariners' desperation to start winning games gives them the advantage here.
