Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Angels 5
Moneyline
LEAN MARINERS (-135).
This bet is risky because it will be hard for the Mariners to win 3 straight vs. Los Angeles because of how evenly matched they are. The Mariners are significantly hotter than the Angels and are 4-1 in Kirby’s last 5 starts overall, meaning that they are still the safer lean here.
Run line/Against the spread
BET ANGELS +1.5 (-150).
The Angels are very cold right now, but the season series is tied at 4 for a reason. I believe the Angels will continue to put up a fight vs. Seattle. Los Angeles is also 3-0 in Anderson’s last 3 starts vs. Seattle, showing that he does perform well vs. the Mariners.

LEAN OVER 9 (+100).
For Los Angeles, the Over is 2-0-1 in their last 3 overall, 2-1 in Anderson’s last 3 starts overall, and 2-0 in Anderson’s last 2 starts vs. Seattle.
For Seattle, the Over has hit in each of Kirby’s last 2 starts and 2-1 in his last 3 starts vs. Los Angeles.
The Over is also 6-3-1 in the last 10 Seattle-Los Angeles meetings overall.
