Tonights feature matchup pits the Seattle Pilots vs. the Oakland Oaks. Errrr, make it the Mariners against the A's, with a nod to their former PCL bretheren. As a matter of fact the PCL lineups of both of these teams might be as good as the current lineups. The A's trot out an infield of Hanahan, Petit, Ellis and Bankston. They've had a weak hitting catcher batting clean up of late. All this and they sit at -1.63. Why? A bit of smoke and a bit of mirrors. Not to mention that the Mariners are having struggles of their own. The poster boy of their season is Richie Sexson, who not only isn't hitting his weight, he isn't hitting his weight less Ichiro. However, despite the Mariners struggles, a -1.63 discount is way to much to place on the A's in their current state. Take the M's and look for a low scoring game decided by the pens.
