Mariners at Angels projected starters
RHP George Kirby vs. RHP Touki Toussaint
Kirby (4-3, 3.39 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 1.3 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 85 IP.
- Has been dominant lately, with a 2.25 ERA and 37/5 K/BB in 32 IP in his last 6 starts.
- His workload has been fairly limited in recent starts, as he’s averaged just 75 pitches in his last 5 starts
- Has faced the Angels twice this season and allowed 3 ER in 12 IP while punching out 14 batters and walking just 1
Toussaint (1-0, 2.70 ERA) makes his 4th appearance (2nd start). He has a 1.13 WHIP, 6.1 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 in 13 1/3 IP.
- He recorded 6 K in each of his last 2 outings, including a 5 IP, 0 ER performance against Oakland last time out Aug. 10
- Has struggled with his control throughout the season. In 16 appearances (11 starts) at Triple-A he posted a 5.6 BB/9 which no doubt played a role in his 5.80 ERA at that level

Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Angels 3
Money line
Seattle has been playing well and has been solid on the road all year, with a 33-28 record away from home, while the Angels are just 26-35 in their home park. The Mariners should come out on top, but this is a steep line so PASS and look for value elsewhere.

Run line/Against the spread
The Mariners have outscored the Angels 14-4 in the first two games of the series and given Toussaint’s control issues, this sets up as another good matchup for the Seattle bats. They should win by multiple runs so go with MARINERS -1.5 (-120).
Over/Under
The Over is 8-1-2 in Seattle’s last 11 road games and their offense should do their part in getting to the total in this game. The Angel bats have been cold, though, with just 27 runs in their last 9 games (3.0 per game). This should end up pretty close to the total but given Toussaint’s blowup potential we’ll lean slightly to OVER 8.5 (-110).
