Prediction
Angels 4, Mariners 3
Money line (ML)
The Mariners have won three of their last five games against the Angels. They took two of three just before the All-Star Break in Seattle and have split the first two games of this series. While they are 20-24 on the road this season they have won five of their last eight away from home.
The Angels are 27-21 at Angel Stadium this season. They are 10-5 in their last 15 games and have won four of Sandoval’s last five starts.
Take the ANGELS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Seattle is 52-41 ATS this season, the third-best ATS record in baseball. The M’s are 25-19 ATS on the road and have covered the spread in four of their last six games.
The Angels are 42-49 ATS overall and 23-25 ATS at home. L.A. has covered just four of its twelve games against Seattle this year.
I expect an Angels win but a Mariners cover. Take the MARINERS +1.5 (-175).
Over/Under (O/U)
The first two games of the series have had totals of 11 and 13 runs. Angels Stadium has the highest Over percentage in the league at 66.0% and six of the last eight games there have had totals of more than 8 runs.
Six of Gilbert’s 10 starts have had totals of fewer than nine runs and Sandoval pitched superbly in his last outing.
Take UNDER 8.5 (-105).
