Lineup:
Ichiro! RF
Figgins 3B
Bradley LF
Cust DH
Smoak 1B
Olivo C
Langerhans CF
Ryan SS
Wilson 2B
Fister vs. Gonzalez
Basically the same lineup we've been seeing for the past couple of days. The last two games seem to tell the story of how this teams offense might look: Ichiro and Figgins will do their thing and get some hits and get on base. If a couple of the middle of the order guys, Bradley, Cust, Smoak, and maybe Olivo can get some timely hits we'll continue to see runs put on the board. Not a lot, but certainly more than last year.
This will also be the first time the Mariners face up against a lefty. Considering most of our "good" hitters are left handed, and our right-handed hitters are mostly just in the lineup for their defense, I don't see the Mariners putting up more than a few runs (2-4). If Fister can pitch near perfectly and the bullpin doesn't blow another lead, the Mariners will have a chance.
However, if the A's get a few hits early look for Fister to struggle and give up some runs. Also, my guess is the A's don't make as many errors and give the Mariners a bunch of free runs.
