The Seattle Mariners (30-32) and Los Angeles Angels (35-30) meet Saturday for Game 2 of a 3-game series. First pitch from Angel Stadium is set for 10:07 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Angels lead 3-1
Seattle’s comeback in Friday night’s game came up short, losing 5-4 as road underdogs to go down 1-0 in this series. The Mariners got out to an early 2-0 lead off the back of a 1st inning 2-run home run from LF Jarred Kelenic. P/DH Shohei Ohtani then tied the game at 2 with a 2-run shot of his own in the 3rd inning. The Angels went into the 9th inning with a 5-3 lead and a solo HR from DH Mike Ford made the game interesting, but wasn’t enough to scrape out the win for the Mariners.
The Mariners are now 1-4 in their last 5 and 3-7 in their last 10, with a 13-17 road record. The Angels have now extended their winning streak to 5 straight games and sit at 19-13 at home on the season.

Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 6, Mariners 5
Moneyline
BET ANGELS (-150).
The Angels are the much hotter team and seem to have a good edge against the Mariners so far this season, with a 3-1 season series lead. The Mariners have been struggling on the road, being 0-5 in their last 5 road games vs. an opponent with a winning record and 3-10 in their last 13 road games overall.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN MARINERS +1.5 (-155).
Both of the last 2 matchups here have come down to a 1-run margin, and the Mariners have been proving they can be a competitive team, even during this rough stretch. With Woo trying to improve on his 1st start, I am sure the Mariners will at least be able to make this a competitive game.
