BOTTOM LINE: The Seattle Mariners play the Athletics with a 1-0 series lead. The Athletics have a 46-63 record overall and a 20-32 record in home games. The Athletics have the eighth-ranked team on-base percentage in the AL at .315.

The Athletics are back in Sacramento to kick off a home stand. They’ll start things off with a three-game series against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, who are fighting for a spot in the playoffs.

Josh Naylor just set a Seattle Mariners stolen base record. Yeah, 250-pound first baseman Josh Naylor. In Naylor's first four games with the Mariners, he has stolen four bases. He didn't swipe one in his debut, then has gone 1-2-1 in the last three games.

In a wide-open American League, the Mariners will have as good a chance as anyone to make a deep postseason run, and Naylor could be a big part of that. He’s played in three postseasons and is known for hitting clutch home runs.

Josh Naylor hits his first homer as a Mariner as Seattle goes on for a 3-1 win over the Athletics. ESPN BET Sportsbook is owned and operated by PENN Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries ('PENN').
