Mariners vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 54-48 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 49-53 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 Mariners are coming off a series loss to the Brewers, but they will be looking to bounce back as a team in the playoff race. They are still 6-4 in their last 10 games while the Angels haven't been hot lately, going 4-6 in their last 10 games and getting swept by the Mets in their last series. The Mariners are going to have Woo on the mound here and he has looked great this season. He is 8-5 with a 2.91 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and the team will be looking to bounce back knowing they have a solid starter on the mound. Soriano is starting for the Angels and he hasn't looked bad this season, but he has also been really up and down. He is 7-7 with a 3.83 ERA and only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start, but the team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and they have fallen into a slump now after that last series. The Mariners also have the better offense and will be looking to bounce back in this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“A lot of teams haven't decided whether they're in it, whether they're selling. All the things that we've heard, I'm sure something will be happening.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s loss against the Brewers in their game on Wednesday.
"[The calls] were bad. I went out and I didn’t say anything really [about the calls]. I said, ‘You have to keep them on the plate.’ Before I could tell him that [Lamonte] Wade [Jr.] was going into right field, he threw me out, which is what really got me going -- aside from the obvious missed calls.” - Ray Montgomery after his team’s loss against the Mets in their game on Wednesday.
