Athletics vs. Mariners prediction and odds for Tuesday, Aug. 29 (This one could get ugly)

Oh boy, this game could get ugly in the best possible way for the Seattle Mariners.

The hottest team in baseball will take on one of the worst teams in baseball on Tuesday night and the projected pitching matchup between Ken Waldichuk (6.05 ERA) against George Kirby (3.28 ERA) makes it even more lopsided.

Now, let's dive into the odds for this AL West showdown.

The Mariners are the hottest team in baseball, there's no doubt about that, but their numbers against lefties specifically have been off the charts since the All-Star Break. Over that time frame, they're batting .303 with an OPS of .875 when facing left-handed pitchers.

Tonight, they'll take on Ken Waldichuk, one of the worst lefty starters in Major League Baseball. The last time he faced the Mariners he gave up eight hits, three walks, and five earned runs in just 2.2 innings pitched.

Still not convinced it's going to be a blowout? Waldichuk will face George Kirby of the Mariners who has a 2.87 ERA at home and a 2.60 ERA in August.

I'm very confident the Mariners can win this game by at least two runs, so I'll back their run line tonight.
