The Athletics edged the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night, 2-1 in 10 innings. The division rivals meet again this afternoon for the rubber game.

Opposing starters are 9-3 to the Over on their strikeout prop in the last 12 games against Seattle. One of those Unders came Saturday when Jeffrey Springs managed only three strikeouts.

Against left-handed starters, the Mariners have struck out at least seven times in five of their last eight games.

Lopez has been dominant, striking out at least eight batters in each of his past three starts. He ranks in the 88th percentile in strikeout rate (29.1%), the highest mark of his three-year career.
