MLB Opening Day concludes with the Seattle Mariners hosting the Athletics on Thursday, March 27. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. EDT; the game will be broadcast on MLB.TV.
Two quality pitchers clash in this AL West rivalry game between the A's and Mariners. AL Cy Young contender Logan Gilbert gets the ball for the Mariners fresh off his first All-Star campaign. This marks his first start on Opening Day. For the A's, it will be Luis Severino, who will be making his Athletics debut after signing a surprising 2-year, $67 million deal over the offseason.

Athletics vs Mariners Prediction, Betting Analysis
By Bruce Marshall
The A's offered a lot of value last season and until proven otherwise, we'll continue to look for spots to bet on them early in 2025.
Adding Luis Severino at the top of the rotation was a rare ambitious move by the A's in the marketplace, but he brings stability and the sort of track record that manager Mark Kotsay hasn't had at his disposal in recent years. Though we're technically not in April, that was Severino's best month last season with the Mets, recording a 1.90 ERA in five starts at the start the season.
We'll hold off on jumping on any Logan Gilbert bandwagon for the Mariners, considering Seattle won in only four of his last 14 starts last season when it stalled down the stretch.
Let's end Opening Day by taking this underdog on the road out west.
Pick: Athletics ML +145
