Seattle at Oakland

After reeling off seven-of-eight Oakland has now dropped three of their last four. The offense has really been sputtering as they have plated a total of six runs in their last four games. The M's have now won four of their last six, and the offense has produced over six runs a game during this recent stretch. Silva has a very good history of pitching well against the A's, and at the same time the Mariners were one of the top teams in baseball against LHP last season, and have averaged 6.7 runs per game in three games against southpaws this season. We will ride the M's to make it two straight over the A's.
