10:10 p.m. ET: Oakland A’s (84-71) at Seattle Mariners (85-70)

Odds: A’s +100 / Mariners -110
Total:  8.5 -105 / -115

The Mariners have overtaken the A’s in their duel for second place in the AL West and, more importantly, their pursuit of an AL wild-card spot. Having attended high school in the shadow of Oakland’s home field, Flexen (13-6, 3.56) has never lost in Oakland, going 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA. Irvin (10-14, 3.99) will be seeing the Mariners for a fifth time this season. Last week’s loss was his fourth straight against the AL West rival, having allowed 14 runs and 29 hits in 16 2/3 innings in those games. The A’s, Elvis Andrus, injured when scoring Oakland’s winning run Saturday, had suffered a broken left leg. He will be lost for the season, as will second baseman Jed Lowrie with a sprained right hand. The A’s Josh Harrison had to leave Sunday’s game with a knee issue as well. Irvin has had major problems against the Mariners in his career, losing all four starts, and hasn’t gone deeper than five innings in any of those outings. Look for the Mariners to get the win today.
