The Seattle Mariners (80-62) are slated to begin a 4-game series with the Los Angeles Angels (61-82) on Friday at Angel Stadium at 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Mariners lead 8-7
The Mariners have had a solid September thus far, going 8-4 in their 12 games. Seattle is 13 games back of the Houston Astros in the AL West, but they are currently positioned as the No. 1 seed in the AL wild-card race.
It has been an extremely disappointing season for the Angels and this month hasn’t been any better. Los Angeles has won only 4 of its 12 games in September and are currently on a 4-game losing streak entering Friday’s game.

Mariners at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, Angels 3
Money line
The money line in this game is barely at a point where I’ll have to PASS on wagering on it. If you’re able to find somewhere that is offering the Mariners at -150 or better, I’d feel better taking them straight up.
Run line/Against the spread
MARINERS -1.5 (+102) is where I’m going in this game with Seattle looking to finish strong to ensure they gain an AL wild-card spot. The Mariners have won by at least 2 runs in 10 of their last 11 wins.
Over/Under
With Ray on the mound for the Mariners, the Under is the favored bet, but I’m going with OVER 8.5 RUNS (-105). Seattle should have no issues producing runs against a pitcher in Lorenzen that is making just his 2nd start since returning from the injured list.
The Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 starts Ray has made against a team in the AL West. On top of that, the Over is 10-3-1 in the last 14 meetings between these 2 teams, including each of the last 5.
