Mariners vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 55-48 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 27-24 road record. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked great in their games this season with their 49-54 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark though with their 24-24 home record this season. Neither team has a solid starter going in this one, but the Mariners do have the better offense and they have been the hotter team lately, going 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Angels are 4-6. The Mariners are going with Kirby in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 4-5 with a 4.65 ERA and has been giving up some runs this season. He gave up another 4 earned runs in his last start too, but the team has still been having success with him lately as they have won 3 of the last 4 games he started in.

Notable Quotes
“This is a good position where we’ve been able to get ourselves into a good spot here in the standings. It’s time to go. We get down to the last 59 games here, and we’re excited about where we’re at. There’s a lot of exciting times -- a lot of fun times -- ahead of us, and we’re looking forward to that.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s win against the LA Angels in their game on Thursday.
"[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.
