Oakland at Seattle

The Oakland A's, Tampa Bay Rays, and the Minnesota Twins are all small-market teams with limited payroll that have found a way to compete. Seattle has been up and down, winning a series on the road in Milwaukee on their last road trip, but getting swept by Houston as well. The A's are off a big series against the Twins which they took two of three and may be facing a letdown against Seattle in the series opener. The Mariners have been as good as anyone playing in Oakland as over the last three calendar years they are 26-14 here. I like the Mariners to get it done tonight, so play on Seattle on the runline.
