<h2>
Oakland at Seattle MLB Game Set-up<br />
</h2>
<p>
The A’s had their four-game winning streak snapped with a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The Athletics scored one run on eight hits while the Twins countered with five runs on nine hits.
</p>
<p>
With six games left in the regular season, the A’s are on the verge of their first playoff berth in four years. They will likely not catch the Houston Astros in the AL West, as they are 4.5 games back of them in the division, but the Wild Card is almost theirs. Oakland needs one more win or a Tampa Bay Rays loss for a Wild Card spot. They have the 2nd spot now and are only 1.5 games back of the New York Yankees for the top spot.
</p>
<p>
In their last game, the Mariners lost to the Texas Rangers 6-1. The Mariners scored one run on six hits, and the Rangers scored six runs on 12 hits.
</p>
<p>
After winning three in a row, the Mariners have lost four of their last seven games. While they are 15 games over .500, they are still out of the playoff race. To say Seattle has been up and down as of late would be an understatement. In their last five games, they have three losses where they totaled four runs while in the two wins they totaled 22 runs.
</p>
<p>
This season the A’s rank 4th in runs scored and 9th in team ERA and the Mariners rank 23rd in runs scored and 17th in team ERA.
</p>
<h2>
Head-To-Head<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Mariners are 9-7 against the A’s this season. Overall, the Mariners are 17-8 in their last 25 games facing the A's and 8-2 in their previous 10 home games against them.
</p>
<h2>
Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Oakland:</b> Daniel Mengden (7-6 4.00 ERA)<br />
<b>Seattle:</b> James Paxton (11-6 3.83 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Mengden’s last appearance he came out of the bullpen going four innings and gave up one earned run on two hits in a 9-7 loss to the L.A. Angels. His four appearances this month have been extended relief ones where he has totaled 15 2/3 innings and given up three earned runs all of which were in one game. That game was facing the Mariners where Mengden allowed three earned runs on five hits in only two innings in an 8-7 Oakland loss.
</p>
<p>
In three career appearances, including two starts, against the Mariners Mengden is 0-2 with a less than stellar ERA of 6.23. The A’s have won six of Mengden’s last eight starts, and they have won seven of his last nine road starts.
</p>
<p>
In Paxton’s last start he gave up four earned runs on five hits in six innings and got no help from the lineup in a 4-0 loss to the New York Yankees. He has not pitched since September 7th, as he has been out with an illness. The Mariners have lost two of Paxton’s last three starts, and in his previous two starts he has given up seven earned runs in 11 innings.
</p>
<p>
The Mariners are 1-1 in Paxton's two starts against the A's this season, which were the two outings previous to his last one. In those games, he gave up four earned runs in five 1/3 innings. The Mariners have won six of Paxton’s last eight starts facing a team with a winning record.

Oakland at Seattle Prediction 09/24/2018

The A's only need one more win, and unfortunately, after dropping their last home game, they'll have to do it on the road. While Mengden has been solid out of the bullpen this month his one poor outing was facing the Mariners. Paxton should get the start in this game, and while he has been battling an illness, I still believe that the chances are far more likely that Paxton has the better start. The A's will have to wait at least one more day to celebrate.
