The Seattle Mariners will go into their final leg of a seven-game road trip with a three-game series against the Athletics in West Sacramento.

The Mariners split a series with the Los Angeles Angels, which resulted in the former being tied with the Texas Rangers for the final American League Wild Card spot and second place in the AL West.

Seattle could either find itself returning home cemented in the playoff picture or behind several teams depending on the results of the series against the A's.

Here's the pitching matchups for the series between the Mariners and Athletics:

Monday, July 28 — Luis Castillo (Seattle) vs. JP Sears (Athletics)

Luis Castillo is coming off one of his more sloppy outings of the season. He struck out seven, hit a batter and allowed six runs (three earned) on 10 hits against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 23. He's fanned at least six batters in his last four starts.

JP Sears hasn't gone through the sixth inning in his last three starts, but he managed to put together a solid performance in his last outing. He struck out seven and allowed one earned run on three hits (one homer) in five innings pitched against the Texas Rangers on July 23.

Tuesday, July 29 — Logan Evans (Seattle) vs. Luis Severino (Athletics)

Logan Evans didn't have his cleanest outing of the season in his last turn, either, but led the Mariners to a win. He fanned three, walked three, hit a batter and allowed one earned run on three hits in five innings pitched against the Angels on July 24.
