Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 4, Angels 3
Moneyline
Seattle is a team you can count on for runs while the Angels are wishy-washy. Seattle has scored at least 3 runs in 6 straight games. They also allowed 10 runs in 3 of those. Gilbert has been decent with a 3.53 ERA in his last 7 starts, and one of those was a 5 ER in 4 IP stinker. The last time he faced the Angels (Sept. 19), he struck out 11 and allowed 1 ER in 6 IP. I look for him to lead the M’s to a victory.
Take the MARINERS -115.
Run line/Against the spread
The Angels are a little out of my comfort zone at -165 for a run of insurance.
Instead, I like LOGAN GILBERT OVER 5.5 K’s (-110). He has 6+ K’s in 5 of his last 7 starts and 4 of 5 against the Halos.

Over/Under
It’s 67 degrees with a light 7-mph breeze heading out to left-center. However, I don’t feel like things will get out of hand to clear 9 runs. The Under has cashed in Canning’s last 4 starts at home. The Under has cashed in 2 of the last 3 between the teams.
LEAN UNDER 9 (-120).
