Mariners vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 54-47 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL West. They have also been a good road team this year with their 26-24 road record. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked great in their games this season with their 49-52 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark though with their 24-23 home record this season. The Angels haven't been bad coming out of the All-Star break, but the Mariners have been hot and they are going to be trying to keep on that path in this big divisional series. Evans is on the mound for the Mariners in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season. He is 3-3 with a 3.81 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. His team has lost 3 of their last 4 games with him starting, but he only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and that has been becoming a theme for him. The Angels are going with Kikuchi in this one and he has looked great this year. He is 4-6 with a 3.13 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs this season. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too, but he still has more losses than wins this season because his team has been really up and down. The Mariners are the more consistent team right now and they also have the better offense to lean on. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
