Pick

I’m backing the over here. I don’t trust the pitching matchup on either side here and while the A’s haven’t been great, I do think they can do enough to contribute to an over off of Marco Gonzales. The Mariners are the far better team here and should be able to scratch a few off of Luis Medina. I’ll back the over here.
