The late-night crowd at T-Mobile Park gets a 10:10 PM EDT treat on MLB.TV and Mariners.TV, assuming your idea of a treat is watching Oakland try to navigate Logan Gilbert’s splitter. Gilbert enters this regular season clash with a tidy 3.42 ERA and 166 strikeouts over 160.1 innings, which is bad news for an Athletics lineup that might also be missing day-to-day bats Tommy White and J.T. Ginn. While Oakland actually holds the batting average advantage at .247 to Seattle’s sleepy .229, the Mariners' pitching staff boasts a 4.20 ERA that looks like a pristine sanctuary compared to the A's ballooned 5.44 mark.
To keep things interesting, Oakland is handing the ball to Kade Morris, who carries a 9.82 ERA and a WHIP of 2.11 that practically invites base runners to set up camp. Gilbert should have a lovely evening, which explains why the sportsbooks have Seattle installed as heavy -237 favorites with a tight 7.0 over/under. If you think Morris can miraculously dodge the damage or if Gilbert is due for a rare stumble, lock in your prediction on StreakChat and let us know who you're backing.
