Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction: Mariners to win this series with an incredible finale performance

Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction and Odds on the Match on August 24, 2025

The T-Mobile Park in Washington will host the finale of a three-game series between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics. The series is tied with the Oakland Athletics responding with a win after a close defeat in the opener. Which team gets the job done in this finale? Below, I will preview this game from a betting perspective. 

Seattle Mariners: Form and Statistics

The Seattle Mariners level of play has been below par in recent weeks and they will look to do better in this one. In their prior encounters to this series, the Seattle Mariners played the Philadelphia Phillies and they were swept. Meanwhile, they had also lost to the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets in that run. Against the Philadelphia Phillies, this team scored 13 runs but conceded 30 which shows a high level of poor defensive work. 

In the meantime, the Seattle Mariners started this series on the right path, pulling off a 3-2 win thanks to two runs in the seventh inning. However, game two did not go their way as their only run came in the 6th inning. Ahead of this game, the Seattle Mariners have a 69-61 record which see them sit 6th in the American League and second in the West Division. 

Seattle Mariners: Team News and Lineup

Logan Gilbert is expected to be on the mound for the Seattle Mariners in this finale. This season, Gilbert has a 3-5 record and a 3.83 average earned runs. In those starts, he had 125 strikeouts and currently has a 2-1 record in his last five starts against the Athletics with a 2.14 ERA and 35 strikeouts. Jorge Polanco has been one of the standouts for the Mariners this season with 87 hits including 18 home runs and 54 RBIs while Cal Raleigh has 116 hits with 19 doubles, a team-high 47 home runs and 102 RBI.

Oakland Athletics: Form and Statistics

The Oakland Athletics have improved so well in the past weeks and will look to add this series to their list. Compared to how they started their series with a number of losing runs, this team has now done well to win consecutive series. The previous series to this saw the Oakland Athletics complete a sweep against the Minnesota Twins while also picking wins against the Los Angeles Angels and Baltimore Orioles. 

In this series against the Seattle Mariners, the Oakland Athletics lost the opener but responded with a 2-1 win in game two, thanks to a run in extra inning. Ahead of this game, the Oakland Athletics have a 60-71 record and sit bottom of the American League West Division. 

Oakland Athletics: Team News and Lineup

For the first time in his career, Jacob Lopez will start on the mound for the Oakland Athletics against Seattle Mariners. This season, Lopez has had a number of impressive displays and he is currently 7-6 with an average earned run of 3.28 and 111 strikeouts. This season, Jacob Wilson has 115 hits, 17 doubles and a .312 batting average while Tyler Soderstrom has 125 hits with 25 doubles, 23 home runs and 74 RBIs, being the standouts for this side.

Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Match Prediction 24 August 2025

The Seattle Mariners have to respond to their lackluster recent displays having now lost six of their last seven games. However, the Oakland Athletics, despite their recent impressive plays, have not been immune to defeat and I do not see them having it easy in this finale. Considering how the first two games ended, this might be another game with fewer runs. Yet, neither team seems to have things in full control, but I see the Seattle Mariners running with a close victory.
