Oakland at Seattle

This is the end of a nine-game road trip for Oakland. They look road weary, dropping four of six while allowing 32 runs. The Athletics are a road favorite but 19-53 away against a left-handed starter. They are also 9-23 on the road against a team with a winning record. Seattle plays its third straight home contest and has plenty of offensive punch at #13 in baseball in runs scored, and fourth in slugging. They've won six of eight, outscoring the opposition 45-27. Mariners' southpaw Wade LeBlanc went 5-2 for Pittsburgh last year and is 2-0 in three starts against the Athletics. With Oakland 3-11 against the Mariners, including 2-7 in this park, back the home dog and play Seattle.
