Tricky dynamics here for the Mariners, who could be officially eliminated from the playoff chase if the Royals and Tigers both win earlier tonight. No matter, the angle here regardless might be to go against the A's after all of the emotion of the just-completed series vs. Texas, and winning the last-ever game at the Coliseum on Thursday. JP Sears also off of a couple of very bumpy starts vs. the Chisox and Yankees, allowing 10 runs and 16 hits across 11 IP (8.18 ERA). Bryan Woo hasn't been as sharp as usual in his last few Seattle starts, either, but he's 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in two starts vs. Oakland this season. Play Mariners on Run Line
