Angels at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 3, Angels 2
Moneyline
The MARINERS (-160) should bounce back after getting shut out vs. Houston Thursday. Seattle is 4-0 in Woo’s outings this season, and the righty has allowed a total of just 1 run in 2 home starts this year.
BET MARINERS (-160).
Run line/Against the spread
The Mariners have scored a total of just 9 runs over their last 4 games, so betting them to win by 2 or more seems a bit aggressive. L.A. +1.5 (-165) will probably hit, but in no way do I want to fade Woo at T-Mobile Park after how dominant he was in his 1st 2 home starts.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
Seattle is the best Under bet in MLB this season at 34-21-3 (61.8%). Woo on the mound combined with his team’s underwhelming offense should lead to a 5th straight Under for the Mariners. However, 7 is a key number in MLB totals, so I wouldn’t bet this at 6.5, unless you like the Over.
BET UNDER 7 (-120), which is available at FanDuel Sportsbook.
