Oakland at Seattle

Oakland is expected to start Mike Minor in the second game of the doubleheader and he will try to change his fortunes with his new team after struggling with the Texas Rangers this season. Seattle has little choice than to go with a bullpen game after using seven pitchers on Sunday, when their starter lasted only two innings. Oakland is 47-20 its last 67 games against teams with losing records, and 31-14 as a road favorite. Also, Oakland has won eight of the last 11 meetings with the Mariners, who are 19-42 their last 61 games vs. left-handed starters. In addition, Seattle is 12-40 vs. teams with a .600 or better win percentage, dating to last season. Play the Athletics to sweep the double header.
