No, these aren’t the most explosive offenses in the league, but with today’s pitching matchup, this total is at least a full run low. Since the end of MayLuis Castillo has struggled on the road. In those six games, the Mariners have yielded over 6 runs per game to their opponents.

A’s rookie starter, JT Ginn made his debut out of the bullpen on August 21st. After one more relief shot, he was moved into the rotation and it did not go well, as he gave up 4 ERs, including a pair of homers, in five innings of work.

That game landed 10-9 and the A’s have seen the Over hit in 8 of their last 10. We may not get to 19 in this one but it should finish well over the total of 8.
