Starting for the Athletics in this game will be Ken Waldichuk. The 25-year-old lefty has a 1-3 record and a 6.85 ERA this season. The Athletics have won in four of his last five appearances on the mound. Waldichuk hopes to see the likes of Esteury Ruiz and Nick Allen will provide offense behind him. Ruiz has slashed .300/.354/.417 in his last 14 games. Allen, on the other hand, is 11-for-32 with a home run over the last 10 Oakland games.
The Over is 6-1 in the Athletics’ last seven games on a Wednesday. The Under, however, is 5-1 in the last six Game 3s of a series for the A’s.
Starting for the Mariners in this game will be Bryce Miller, who has been amazing so far for the team. Although he picked up a loss in his last start, Miller is still carrying a 2-1 record and a 1.42 ERA over four starts this season. He also owns a 0.51 WHIP. During his big-league debut earlier this month, Miller struck out 10 Oakland hitters and allowed only an earned run on two hits in six innings of a 2-1 victory on the road. Seattle’s offense will look to punish Waldichuk, who has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last five starts.
The Mariners are 12-2 in their last 14 home games versus a left-handed starter. The Under is 4-1 in Seattle’s last five home games.
