I love Felix here today as he had a 1.99 ERA on the road last year with a 10-2 record. He also has a 2.16 ERA in the last three years in the month of Arpil. Oakland has not fared to well against the Seattle ace and are likely to struggle on opening night.
Ben Sheets will be going for the A's and what will be an interesting match up. Sheets was out all last year and had an 11.20 ERA in the Spring. However, his last two starts combined for 9.1 IP 6 hits and 2 ER. However, starting the regular season will be a big difference. I expect the improved Mariners line up to be able to get to him by the 5th inning.
