Season series: Tied 4-4
The Angels picked up a 3-1 win Monday in the series opener behind LHP Tyler Anderson, winning as moderate underdogs (+142). The Under (7) cashed, snapping a 3-game Over run for the Halos. It was shocking, as Angels pitching had allowed 8.7 runs per game in the previous 3 outings.

Seattle pitching has kept it in games lately, allowing 4 or fewer runs in 6 straight games and 5 or fewer in 19 of the past 20 contests. The M’s have cashed the Under at a 12-6-1 clip in the past 19 home games, too.

Angels at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 4, Angels 2
Moneyline
The MARINERS (-180) are a little high-priced coming off a low-scoring loss in the series opener. The Seattle offense has been risky, and it will be a tall order getting things going against Soriano. He posted a quality start last time out against the Mariners, allowing just a single run in 6 IP.
However, if you’re a little more conservative, bank on Seattle at home for the bounce-back game.
Run line/Against the spread
The MARINERS -1.5 (+125) is worth a small-unit play if you’re a little more on the adventurous side.
Seattle has just a single victory in the past 7 games, but it won 6-4 in that win. And the M’s have only 6 wins since July 4, but 5 of those victories have been by 2 or more runs. So, if you like the Mariners to win, you should like them to cash on the run line.

Over/Under
UNDER 7 (-106) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
It’s all about the Under for the Mariners lately, with the total going low in 5 of the past 6 outings. The Under is also 7-3 in Gilbert’s past 10 starts, including July 14 in his only previous start against the Halos.
The Under hit Monday, snapping a 3-0 Over run for L.A. The Under has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings against the M’s, however, with a total of 12 combined runs, or 4.0 runs per outing. Offense has been at a premium when these teams get together lately.
