Under 8 Oak/Seattle (-109)
These two teams come in not hitting very well.In the last 7 games the A's hitting just .214 and avg 2.14 rpg.The Mariners a little better at .227 and 3.6 rpg. over the same period.Now dont get me wrong Im not a huge fan of Kennedy....he really did suck early in the season but mayve these coaches are helping him or not having the pressure of pitching in Coors but he's looked decent lately even when he was in the pen.Piniero is another guy that worries me and would usually disqualfy an Under for me but he's not been horrible lately.In fact 5 out of his L6 starts would be classified as "quality".Tonight we get a pitchers ump and solid BPs (SEA 1.73 era L10 / OAK 2.62 era L10).McAfee is not a hitters park and especially not with these lineups.Kielty out and a banged up Kotsay should help.
Seattle is 21-16 Under vs LH starters,21-15 Under in division (.240/3.8 rpg)
Oakland is 56-33 Under vs RH starters,27-13 Under in division (.257/4.2 rpg)
Meeting this season: 8-4 Under
